Let me be more specific about boat people. A seven day sail barly qualifies as a "fun sail". It was probably done often. Since the Norse discovered Iceland and Greenland,it positively inconceivable that they didn't continue their sailing after establishing a foothold on Greenland, probably within a year of arriving.
Possibly for the sheer fun of it.

They were always missing Cape Farvel at the south tip of Greenland, and another day or two they hit the North American coast. Storms, a little navigation error, and here they are. Not just in 985 AD, but in 1985 BC!

I agree on boat people.Those guys were at home with their boats. Just because todays average boater only goes out for pleasure,people seem to believe fancy equipment and nice weather are the only way to get on the water.
