Demonstrating yet again that there is a strong core of truth in most
homilies, in this case that old jewel: "all is relative."
Given my propensity to Potter far afield, I tend to be surrounded by
"cruising" sailors with much larger vessels. I urge every one of them to
sail something the size of the P19, as doing so will "open a whole new
world in sailing and what is possible" and make them "a better and safer
sailor in both light and heavy winds." 'Struth.
[Let's see now, applying media-level sophistry to these facts would
indicate that floating on one's back with a mast in one's navel (naval? :-)
would be the best experience of all.]
