We love sailing. And our engines stay off, even when our speed drops to
1 knot. Learn to live with that.

I own a boat that I can actually sail myself. I am happy with the choice I
made. I enjoy looking at boats, but I've never seriously considered going to
a larger boat, and I'm very familiar with the "two-foot-itis" syndrome, you
seem to be a poster boy for this malady. As far a keeping the engines off,
all this really means is that you've never done any cruising, sad
considering the fact that you live in an area that's a good starting point
for extended cruising. We're very happy that you're pleased with "your" new
boat, but the way you go on about it, we're wondering who you're really
trying to convince.
