Going back to something that's a necessity (work), so I can feed & clothe my
family, which BTW I do love more than sailing. I'm guessing 98% here would
put family before sailing.

I certainly would.

But I have no family.

Oops! I read that wrong. I would put sailing before family anyday.
I'd put $5 before family. I have no family.

Fix me up with one of your attractive friends then?

You're finally coming out of the closet?

If you love sailing so much, WHY DON'T YOU RACE? I think many folks would
agree that racing IS the purest form of sailing. If you think that sailing
isn't escapism, then you don't have a clear idea what the word means. Do you
sail because it reminds you of work? You sail because it is FUN!!! Escapism
in a nutshell.

One goes sailing for the love of sailing and the love of sailing alone.

Sailing to escape is not a pursuit worthy of a man. It makes a mockery
of the world's most noble way of life. Escapism assumes the escaper
is going back to something he loves more. Anyone who loves anything
more than sailing is no sailor by definition.

That's weird, I thought the whole idea was to escape? Even those folks
sailing around the world(not racing) would probably define their travels
as
escapism. If Neal is such critic of escapism sailing, why isn't he
racing?

I think Neal went off on a tirade about 'escapism sailing' once.
That's
what
I did, went sailing to escape. Been working steady for 3-4 weeks. I
needed
a
break. Took a few days, sailed down to Rock Hall and 'hid' in the
boat.
Worked like a charm! Feel much better now and ready to get back to the
grindstone.

BTW, there was 1,233 posts this morning!
