We've thought about that, but it simply isn't practical for us. Given our current location a wind powered boat is only useful for about 5 months out of the year.

Outside of that time frame storage costs are outrageous. Those resources, at least for us right now, are better allocated elsewhere.

Besides, what I know about sailing you could put in a thimble and still have room for a double martini.

Necessity is the mother of invention. Any healthy adult who figured out how to ride a bike at age ten can figure out how to sail a boat at age 50. GPS makes navigation a joke. Any ten year old is a better navigator than the wisest old salt 30 years ago.
