Overheard...

While waiting for the deluge to stop so I can try and finish sanding my hull... Boats are not designed to be on land!

This mornings cruisers net had a conversation about a fellow cruiser who had SAILED to the Turks and Caicos islands. The operative word being... SAILED! Sadly with a lot of cruisers the idea that you can actually sail somewhere as opposed to motor and sail has reached the point that the idea is often greeted with the same sort of amazement as if the person sailing had done something either real special or real crazy/scary.

Sailing, simply a way to get from one place to another...
