Nothing is as mindless and boring as days at sea.

Different strokes for different folks but I beg to disagree.

Moderation (and good weather) in all things of course, but for me I
never tire of the constantly changing view, the routine of watch
standing, the marine life, sunset at sea, countless stars against a
perfectly dark sky, sunrise, and eventually landfall.

We did a number of one and two day offshore passages last summer on
our north/south trip and I never tired of any of them. There were
days when we saw so many whales we lost count, and nights with
literally dozens of shooting stars.

To me it just doesn't get any better.

Wayne,
I have to agree, the solitude and beauty of being offshore, makes the
trip part of the adventure.

Seriously. If I want to go to Alaska, I'm going there on a commercial
jet. If I want to go boating or fishing while I am there, the old
plastic fantastic in my wallet gets me whatever I want.

Go traveling on credit!? What a maroon.

I've seen scenery
everywhere in the world, and I hope to be going to Kenya later this
year, but I don't plan on roughing it.

Right, right...and I'm going up on the next Space Shuttle.

Translation: I live in Derby, Kansas, and I've been dreaming of having
easy access to salt-water boating, but I don't have it, so I'll knock
those who do have it and don't make a huge deal about it.

Translation: I don't have a boat, that's why I somehow think boating
in salt water is better than boating in fresh water, so I will knock
those who are flat-fresh-water boaters, and make a big deal about it.

Translation: Skipper can't afford a GB like Wayne's, so to make himself
feel better, he'll knock Wayne's boat as being "overly expensive."

Translation: I cant afford any boat, so I will lie about having one,
and put down those who really do.

The idea of driving 1500 miles to get to the
ocean towing a boat would not enter my mind.

That's because you don't have a boat genius.

Sooner the better. You're about one post away from the KF.
