Like WayneB, I also disagree.

It may not be your cup of tea, but piloting your own boat, with full
responsibility for navigation, weather watching and decision making plus the
sense of accomplishment for an accurate and safe voyage is far from mindless
and boring.

Plus, there's a serenity yet a mystery to the ocean that's hard to describe
if you are always in sight of land.
