electricity is a bane to civilization mostly and NOT necessary for
sailing!
listen to the music of the sails, the waves, the wind. find your soul's
essence to the sound of the hull on the water.
recover from the pace of modern life by slowing down to a top hull speed
of 5 knots or so.
rediscover the rhythms of your heart......
this whole discussion reminds me of a cross country trip we took on Amtrak
a while back. every day at 7pm they'd turn on some stupid movie on two
monitors in.....THE OBSERVATION CAR!!!!!! Who needs even a good movie
while the backyard of the whole country is going buy????
my boat has no power. as long as i sail inland rules i won't add any
either...too much NATURE to observe, inside and out.
