I guess I'm spoiled. 2 minute motor out of the marina,
and
I'm sailing!

I'm so sorry. Such a long motor is the price some have to pay for being so
far from open water.

Since we've moved to the leeward side of the dock, on low-traffic days we
shove the boat manually out of the slip, sails raised, and sail out of the
marina. Sail back into the slip, too. Let the powerboaters brag all they
want about how 'green' they are using biodiesel.
