counterpoint: i stayed on a small sailing boat with some friends for two nights and it sucked balls apart from the bits where we were on land

a client of mine was complaining to me about being so bored to tears on a yacht in the mediterranean that after ten days he took a four hour ferry and 11 hours of flights just to leave early.

it was difficult to express my sympathy

I have one of these, a "laser." unfortunately the place I keep it is really busy and you can't safely go anywhere, so the only thing to really do with it is race, which I'm not really into. I do know a place that you can sail up to boat-access-only campsites and that's high on the to do list. anyway if you want to have a boat I'd say something like this is the best price to fun ratio

im not sure what it is but rarely do I see anyone younger than Gen X show up to go sailing with us.

I am the youngest member who regularly shows up and i now realize im in my late thirties.

Die Rettung fuer die Landwirte:
Sailing on the Baltic sea around the Danish isles is pretty cool actually. You spend a few hours at sea on your way to the harbour, stay there until you want to move on, you plot your next route in the evening and by morning sail away to the next harbour. You do that until your vacation is half over, and plot a string of single-day trips until you're back home.

Marstal is pretty. Strynø is so small you can go on a walk to circumnavigate the entire island, and the same is true for a lot of the other islands like Bjarnø and Lyø.



What I would never recommend is trying something idiotic like Sassnitz -> Bornholm. Just utter misery even with favourable wind and weather.


Sailing through 6 Bft wind with proper gear and letting the wind blow the dust out of your skull is a great experience, there's just something about being between the waves that makes you forget about "multiple inheritance" and "constructors" and "containers" and other irrelevant garbage.


It's just too bad that boat maintenance is a ridiculous drain and a massive pain in the rear end.
