Thanks blueflame -

I was talking about "meditative sailing" last night with some of the others. The only downside to a big boat is it takes so much effort (relatively speaking in the grand scheme of things) to get the sails up and trimmed nicely, you really need to be on a loooooong tack to settle in to that state of mind.

And on the engine-less theme: a couple of ports back we saw a 30-ish footer keel boat on a mooring which was both engine-less and electrical system-less. The couple that owns it have been sailing around in the western hemisphere for a couple of years now.
