I'm telling you, it's genetic. If you have the gene, you will be drawn to it like a moth to a flame, and you will find a way to learn to sail. If you don't have the gene, then you play golf.
Okay, I'll buy the genetic supposition because I have been hooked pn sailpower since age 8 (beetlecats around the Cape and a girlfriends Wianno plus the odd Sailfish and Sunfish) but I am also a 7 handicap and so the gene can't be an either/or with golf. Are there any more of you who feel that the club isn't exclusive? I truly think I have a semi-retired gene (so named by my wife). I have more hobbies than I have time for. Sailing comes first but it scares me to think I haven't passed "the sailing gene" onto my son. I guess it's hit or miss?
Thanks Mary, for posing the question....... I have found this topic very interesting. I am promising, here and now, to take at least 6 newbies sailing when the good weather returns.
