You have to be a real people-hating hermit to live on the hook. There are
many times I enjoy the hell out of my boat that it doesn't leave the dock.
I had my boat at home behind my house once, but I missed the dock community
and returned. There's nothing like crewing on someone else's boat when it's
blowing like hell. There's nothing like half-a-dozen sailors gathering at
someone's boat and downing a few while tossing around the bull****. There's
nothing like relaxing in the cockpit at dusk enjoying a glass of wine and
greeting those returning from a day on the water. And most of all, there's
nothing like having somebody to hoist your ass aloft when need be, or to
help you get your sails off and folded when a hurricane is barrelling down
on you. You can have the hook, I enjoy the company of fellow sailors at the
dock. I may not be an expert sailor, but then I never claimed to be one did
I? You have and now you have a lot to live up to dimwit.
