Are you a worm or a minnow? Or more likely, one of those rubber frogs?

I will probably wish I had never expressed these thoughts.
I came seeking wisdom. Dealing with one of those mid life;

You are never too old to enjoy your childhood, things.

I guess thinking or not thinking, I now realize that I ask for
objective wisdom in regards to the most beautiful purist
realm still left in the world. “Sailing”

But I came not as a purist, but one who was seeking the
newest technology, the latest improvement, the greatest
comfort, the mother board with the most ram and a sail.

I had grown accustom to cruise control, air conditioning,
power garage door openers, microwave ovens, color TV,
indoor plumbing, hot running water, electric lights, politically
correct behavior.

Captain Neal, I see the error in my ways.

Tomorrow the electric lights are gone. I just bought cole oil lamps.
Cruise control no more. Now its pedal to the metal. Oh! And turn
that damn thing off and just open some windows. I can go outside and
do that anyone got a Sears catalog or a corn cob. And well
seriously, **** all those high and mighty women who think
they can be just as good as a man. What the hell are they
thinking!

Captain you would be proud. I have decided to change my ways.
It's got to be a mono hull. In fact I have my eye's on a Coranado
27 on Ebay, it's a 65 or 66 model . Absolutely no frivolous creature
comforts here. A basic simple craft that just yearns to be caressed
by the wind, tiller in hand. The Walden Pond of sail craft.

What was I thinking. I will forever be grateful. Thanks Captain
For pulling be back from the edge.
