Sailing is about FREEDOM! Something beyond the comprehension of those under 35.......

For most. I was hitchhiking interstate in high school.

Did too when it was cool/safer. Still, I met my first queer, worked fruit/veggies, was mugged, saw the inside of a county jail; leather tramp was an education.

Later in the late ‘60’s I spent the day before Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving Day wearing USMC winter greens (with brand new E-4’s stripes) waving my thumb under an overpass in Gila Bend AZ while it rained for three days. U.S.M.C. was some more education.

Now I find I’m too old to outfit a craft of blue water caliber....So late we get so smart.
