For us real sailors we sail to get away from the crowds. We sail because

parties every night.


You're losing your touch. My favorite was when you wrote about
hanging on to the mast naked, howling at the wind and rain and seas
that sought to defeat you.
Think the first reply you got to that post was "What did your dock
mates think about that conduct?"
Quite an exchange on both sides.
