Why is every one in such a hurry? I thought it was the journey, not the
destination?

I love being out there far from land with just the wind and your boat
and some dolphins, but I'm not much for sailing *just* for the sake of
sailing (say, around and around the bay). For me, when it comes to
anchorage-hopping, it's more about sitting in the harbor / cove at
anchor, sipping a cocktail, preparing your just-caught yellowtail.

I guess I'm saying that if the journey isn't at all adventurous or
exhilarating, then it has to be about the destination. And for many of
those sailors-turned-power-boaters, I'd suspect that adventure and
exhilaration is, for some reason, our of their vocabulary. And their
destination is just close enough to motor to.
