I've been thinking about setting up a business as a means of writing off expenses. I don't do nearly as many events as Jake does... and I don't know how you guys get so much time off work to do all the sailing you guys do AND have leftover time to go on family vacations...

I added up my costs for going to ONE regatta and it infuriated me! The wife and I had to add up all our costs and re-align our budget since I just bought a new awesome SUV. Regatta expenses came up as the #1 "unbudgetted expense" when we re-did our budget spreadsheet.
