I don't get this... people seem to be obsessed with how far or on what
boat
someone else sails.




It seems rather unimportant to me.

Well .. it would seem unimportant to you. I would guess that you don't
usually leave the protective environment of the Bay.

Why would anyone keep
track of this sort of thing unless you're crossing a large body of water
and
need to know your position?

If you want to get a formal qualification over here, then you need to be
able to prove that you have a certain number of seamiles under your belt.


The point seems to be to get out on the water,
not to keep measuring distance as though it was the size of some part of
your anatomy that you're insecure about.


I assume that you don't take your customers very far???? Aren't they
dissappointed?
