And trust me, sailing is easier. You don’t have the fear of falling and crashing into the ground.

Unless you fall out of the boat.

My mom’s husband is a very accomplished sailor. He once was on the winning team of the Detroit to Mackinac race.

They were sailing his boat and she lost a shoe in the water while she was clambering up to the bow. As he reached in to grab it, he fell in leaving her, a rather neophyte sailor to turn a 40’ sailboat.

Fortunately, someone saw it happen and rescued him.

But yea, I agree, much easier.

My brother has a small fleet of sailboats, Hobie, O’Day etc. I get too bored going so slow. He loves it.
