Crap!... to both of your sentiments regarding cold weather sailing being
more comfortable than warm weather sailing. Nothing beats a warm tropical
breeze pressing canvas to glide your vessel over a turquoise blue sea that
is so transparent you can see the bottom at 60 feet. Unencumbered by
excess
clothing and free to enjoy the warmth of the sun while ice cubes crackle
and
hiss in your rum punch. At anchor the water invites you to swim... not
dares
you to enter. As the coolness of the evening approaches and you rinse off
the salt and sweat with a cool evening shower before retiring to the
cockpit
for a sundowner while enjoying the music of the steel drum band on shore
drifting out to your mooring.... I doubt envy is the first thing that
springs to mind when and if you think of sailing up north.

.... that's obvious... most Scots had a little Viking in them back then...
weather by choice or insistence.
Have I mentioned I'm Belgian?

Great grandmom said it was insistence, but she lied a lot, that's what
everyone liked about her!

Belgian? No, I did not know that!
