I can certainly understand that, but I do enjoy sailing in the SF bay, even
when it's not for money. I suppose there are some destination up here that
are worth being at, Angel Island, Sams, the former tends toward zoo status
of lots of powerboaters on weekends (though certainly the majority are
sailboats), and the latter has too many "beautiful" people (who drove there)
sitting on the deck.



When I was on my way down the coast, I stopped in SF for a month, and
*did* take a day-sail to Angel Island. However, it wasn't about the
sailing; I took a girl to show off my boat and truthfully my objective
was to get laid. (Yes, I remember Bobsprit - hopefully the comparisons
end there). Anyway... file under: "exhilaration."

I suppose a pretty important factor (outside of adventure,
exhilaration, destination) would be "relaxation," which is probably
more important to many day-sailors than any of the others, and isn't
something power boats can compete with - during the journey, anyway.
