Default Scenic overload

I've realized one of my problems with cruising (or any long vacation)
is I reach "scenic overload" where pretty things become mundane, "just
another beautiful vista". My mind can hold only so many of these
before I have to go home and recharge my desire for more. Anybody
else have this issue?




I don't have that problem. The reason being: there are way too many totally
ugly and ineptly-sailed boats in sight daily that it wants to make be barf
because they are so cluttered and lubberly maintained. Here is one good
example of which I speak.

But, to be fair, Flying Pig does have one quite comely attribute: She's on
the right:

I just have to wonder what the world's come to when a desirable woman like
that puts herself in such slovenly circumstances? If she would sail with me,
I would be happy to teach her what higher standards are all about.

That looks like a bigger boat that what you have. Does that make a
difference, as far as comfort goes? I guess it depends on how far you
go. We're finally starting to get some warmer weather out here and
hardly any fog, but it's still pretty cold at night. I have to take
some vacation time in warm weather, including at night!
