I've sailed the Beaufort Sea, Hudson's Bay and British Columbia as well as
Nova Scotia.
I've also sailed the South Pacific, Caribbean and South Atlantic off Brazil.

| news | 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.

| One adventure is very different from another.
| Sailing the balmy smooth and welcoming waters of the world is a pleasure
| indeed... and hard to better in many respects.
| But it's not exactly a challenge.....
|
| Tossed about in the north sea... anticipating That safe harbour only two
| hours away .... as the love of your life hands you hot soup (she made soup
| after doing the nav .....she's a gem
|
| Goasting nevously through icebergs as the very slowly setting sun sends
| shards of crisp light through the clouds to dance on the peaks of the very
| ice that could be so deadly......Thank God that so few people brave the
cold
| .. last thing this place needs is a benetau full of jerks scattering
| MacDonalds wrappers about.
|
| And at such times as these(including the balmy tropics... Envy has no
| place..... You find yourself too busy being where you are now ...to care
who
| else is doing what somewhere else!
