Well I used to live aboard Bob... so I was home! :-) When I'm
out now... I'm
still at home.... we go out for the sailing not the speed nor
destination.
I can bring my vessel in at 0300hrs as easily as I can at
1500hrs.
Gas?? I thought we were talking about light air sailing... Oh!
I see...
it's a motor reflex for you! [Pun Intended] :-)

Sounds like a trawler is in your future.

Nope... Overproof is in my future. I really don't want any
other boat. My
friend though is looking at a Nordhaven... now that's a
Trawler!


A difference of 2 or 3 knots is huge. Not only does th speed
add a fun
factor, it might also get you to a destination on a light air
day
without resorting to the engine.

Well if you are on a schedule and the destination is back to
your dock
because you have appointments... sure the extra 15 minutes
might make a
difference. To most of us it's the trip... not the destination
that counts


Well put, Mooron. On Saturday the wind was so good I got to the
anchorage way before dark, so, I turned around and sailed out,
and back for a few more hours.
