Like sooner Boomer, I learned (and raced) sailboats before driving. A Sabot, then a Laser, then crewing with dad on our Albacore. I had a Fireball in the late 80's, but an unreliable crew, and he wasn't really into racing.. I crewed to a BC Fireball provincial 2nd place in the late 90's. And then nothing, really, after that..
Do I miss sailing? yeah, I guess so, but other interests & commitments.
Boating now is a rental kayak for fishing. Or a canoe if needed.. I do have my eye on a fishing kayak.. one day..
Sailing is the one kind of boating I haven’t done more than a handful of times. From my limited experience it can be incredibly beautiful and peaceful, but can also induce some serious sea sickness in those of us prone to it...
I just traded a 21' Larson runabout in for a new Pontoon boat. As the sales person said, "You're getting older". Easier to keep the grand kids under control on a pontoon boat. (I hope)
Yep, this is my first grownup boat at age 46.
