The most dangerous part of any "dangerous sport", whether sailing,
scuba-diving, climbing etc, is driving in your car to get there....

I always reminded myself of that as I was in my car on the way to Langar or
Netheravon to go skydiving, but found that sailing gave a different feeling,
and for much longer than a 50 second freefall.

Having decided to stick with sailing (Read as: allocate my disposable income
to sailing, not skydiving) I revel in the fact that no-one MAKES me wear my
lifejacket, etc.

Whatever, it is worth the risk and money to lurch beerily around the Solent,
even if I do have to take my life into my hands everytime I want to get to
the sailing club!
