Default How Much Do You Really Sail?

*IF* you spend less that 50% of the time with the engine running, then you
either sail in an area with fantastic breezes, or you may be overestimating
the time that you are running under sail alone.


Again, we run the engine to get clear of the breakwater and that's usually it.
If there is little wind, we sail slow and chat. If there is zero wind we drift.
Unless we need to get somewhere, we don't ruin things by using the engine.
