Yesterday's PaD

Why do we set sail?
There are as many reasons to sail as there are people who do.

Thousands of people set sail simply to travel.
Like Tim Cambell said yesterday we have the, "Freedom to harness the power of the wind",
and go where the wind takes us.
We visit unplanned destinations and see sights that would have gone unnoticed by any other means of travel.

And there are many other reasons to set sail.

Jill and I meet many people who live-aboard sailboats full-time.
Most are retired or have professions that can move from place to place.
So when the weather or local conditions no longer suit them, they set sail for more favorable environs.


Lynn and Lynnette, seen here with Jill, live aboard the sailing vessel Caribbean Call, fulltime.

There are those who want to learn new skills.
Handling and maintaining a sailing vessel requires a bunch of skillsets not often used on land.



Of course, there are hundreds of other reasons to untie the docklines.
If given the opportunity would you?
Why?
Why not?
