I used to sail quite a bit and, in fact, owned a sailboat very similar

peaceful.

Sailing is a slow and outmoded form of transportation which usually
results in going around in circles while cursing power boaters. I'd
rather fly to where I'm going than waste my time slogging around with
something like that.

Well, sailing doesn't have to be slow...I saw one sailboat out in San
Diego in 2008 that could sail circles around your barge...she just won
the America's cup.

I enjoyed my sailboat the three years on the bay I had her. She *was*
not very fast.

Naw. I'd rather fly. My round trip to costa rica cost me about $370
in
airfare, and took about seven hours in the air. Once there, did
plenty
of boating and fishing. To me, being where I want to be is a lot more
fun than slogging my way there. To each his own



You still cannot think in the abstract, eh, s.f.b.?

Sailing around on a relatively small body of water, like Chesapeake Bay,
was fun for me when we did it. Taking a slow trawler barge to get to
Costa Rica would not be fun for me, now or back then. I wanted to get to
C.R. so I could enjoy my time off *there*, not waste my off getting
there. And, as I have posted many times, "to each his own."

With a couple of breaks, this summer one of my clients will want me to
attend a week-long meeting in Geneva. It's very tentative at the moment,
but...I hope to fly to London, grab the Eurostar to Paris, and then the
Lyria TGV to Geneva. On the way back, we'll rent a car so we can see
some more of Switzerland and a decent part of France. High speed planes,
high speed trains, lower speed car... :)

You know, to each his own.
