Poor Jeff. And I do mean that. For centuries, poets and
artists of all
kinds have clearly seen the "magic life" in a sailing
vessel. What a
loss for you that you've missed out on this common
aspect of sailing.



Magic as in Santa Claus, God and the tooth fairy?

For centuries men have abandoned the miserable life of a
sailor. Why do you
think that for centuries there were press gangs to capture
people to work on
sailing ships.


Bob's ''magic life in a sailing vessel'' is spending time in
the slip watching DVDs and eating pork rinds.
