I want the romance of casting off and heading away to who knows where, for days and weeks at a time. Spending hours idling at anchor or test driving new pubs in new places.
Thats sailing for me, the exploration side of it, the time out free feeling. It just cant be beaten, and its worth all the hassle and pita expense of ownership to be abl to just do that on your own terms, beholden to no-one.
I work hard ... 24/7 ... ships don't 'park at night / weekends' ... so my job has me occupied at all sorts of times ...
The act of stepping on board .. casting off and doing something away from the job is a huge thing for me. Whether its the speedboat on the river - or the larger 38 out into the Baltic ...
But I do like to have a destination ... to give it some reason other than to just while away a day or so ..
I cannot imagine being without a boat ...
