Size has little to do with it, and How often do you go anywhere that
you are offshore for more than a week?

Moored or anchored? Sometimes for more than a month. We are totally
independant of marinas except for fuel and water and the boat has lots
of that, far more than most sail boats.

You likely use more fuel in a hour than I use in a season. And your
fuel is that smelly, more expensive stuff. I'll bet that despite your
vast tankage, you visit fuel docks far more often than I do.

I probably do use more fuel then you do, but then again, I suppose I
can afford to. On the other hand I never visit a fuel dock. I haul it
out in jerry cans.

If you believe that having a tiny, inefficient, motor is to be
blessed, then obviously having no motor is even more blessed. I
suggest that you take out the batteries too. then you can be pure at
heart and run on kerosene.

Funny how the weekend warriors all brag about "sailing" when the
professionals, the people who actually make their living on the water
all want the newest and latest development.

I once asked an old lobsterman, "Capt. Chester, were the good old days
really that good?" He replied, "Boy, I'll tell you, you get down the
mouth of the bay and the wind dies and you have to row her home you
won't talk about the good old days!"

Bwahahahaha! What a clueless dope you are.

Ah ha! Insults, the ultimate refuge of the mentally incompetent.

In other words, you can't manage an intellectually with a well thought
out response so you make a noise with your mouth that rather sounds
like a noise that most people make with their arse.
