And a number of my friends have or are thinking about moving from sail
to power


Any thinking of just selling their sailboats and buying a good rock
tumbler and maybe also maybe take up playing the banjo???
Cuz that's what it means to give up sailing. You don't compromise by
buying a trawler. Compromise would be a Fisher 37 or a Nauticat. A
trawler means you GAVE UP SAILING.
Period. And spare me the crap about sailing dinks around. Doug doesn't
do it anymore. If you haven't time for a sailboat, you haven't time for
a trawler and a dink!
Your friends are as gay as Doug.


Time is the most precious commodity. If you are putting your time into a
sailboat, your time is missing from something else.

For most, you included, sailing is a few hours escape from life. It is far
from being life itself as is an arcade game or some other distraction.

What moment sums up your life?
