Virtual cruising.
I admit, I read Hubbard/Neals post on sailing with all the new stuff
and it reminded me of a talk I saw by a guy from Garmin. He was
discussing all the new stuff they have and he showed how their new GPS
can interface with Google Earth so you can get a view of where you are
(might want to be). He also showed that they have new feature where
it shows what certain places look like from the water.
It wont be long before you can sit in front of your TV with a Wii
controller that sprays you with cold water while you tilt and balance
on a platform while tearing up money and throwing it overboard and you
can tell people you are cruising. Who needs a boat? It'll mean fewer
morons on the water. Unfortunately Neal may still be there. Must be
some sort of conservation concept there.
