good thread, Frank.


1. Did you sail more in the first five years or in the last
five
years?


More in the last 5.



2. If the answer to number 1. is the last five years, were you
retired
during that time?


No.



3. Have you owned multiple boats and has each one been larger
and more
expensive than the one before it?

Yes and yes.



4. As you moved up in boat size did that also correspond with
moving
up professionally with more stress, responsibility and time
constraints?

No.



6. Did you raise kids and during the time that they had
conflicting
interests and activities, did that contribute to less sailing.

yes and yes.


7. Did a high percentage of your closest sailing friends and
acquaintences at the start of your sailing carreer at some
point move
from sail to power or off the water altogether?

yes



8. Even when you owned boats did you do bareboat charters on a
regular
basis.

no



9. Did you race (either your own boat or crewed on others) when
you
were young and do you still race.


No. Crewed on a few boats in the last 5 years.

Kids are for women and fools. Sailors have as little to do with kids as
possible!

I read that to my sons and they replied, "Capt. Neal is lying".

Talk about idle chatter...
