I think it is interesting to know the other hobbies and interests and sports of sailors, other than sailing. I don't care what you do for a living, but I do like to know what the other things are that sailors do for fun -- like tennis, bicycling, motocross, surfing, kayaking, landsailing, skiing, rock-climbing, ice-fishing, etc., etc.
Or maybe it is bowling or golf.

I know that some of the biggies on our seminar applications were "Woodworking" and "Restoring antique cars." Other favorites were reading and gardening.

Tell us what your favorite pastimes are. Up at our Ohio home, the favorite winter pastime is ice fishing (which is why we are in Florida). <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Besides sailing?....Sewing/quilting, hiking, handyman jobs, dabbling in woodworking and turning, and traveling. Just a few of the many. There is not enough time to do it all. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I do some hunting and fishing, lots of camping. There are few things that I do not like doing.

Well, sailing pretty much is it.

But RC Air Planes keep me interested when its too cold to sail.

I also have Tropical fish that can boarder on being work.
But they are a nice hobby for around the house.

On-line gaming and racquetball. I loved owning an RV - long-time camper/hiker, and dinking around with RV maintenance was kinda fun. Dabbled in bonsai. Owned an MGB for a while - great project. Used to be really into mountain biking, too, when I lived in Pennsylvania. My four-year-old takes up most hobby time, but she's also far more rewarding than any of my other "projects." <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Gardening. I'm currently reworking a goldfish pond and butterfly garden, as well as a pergola and some trellises. January and February, in SW Florida, are perfect for this type of work.

Also catching up on some much needed maintenance on the Blade.

Hobbies;
I used to hang out at the drag strip and restore Camaros, Firebird, Nova etc. These days just maintaining my drivers and kids cars is enough of a challenge. Have found restoring H14's and H16's satisfies the completed project urge.

Our Border Collie/Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, "Esther" takes a lot of attention. Thinking about trying Fly Ball with her, she's a rocket! http://flyballdogs.com/photos/rocky-m.jpg

Control line kites are a blast. I have two, one small and one very small, extremely responsive with a short learning curve. Any sailor living in a windy area I'm sure would enjoy flying these.

Interests; I just watched a snow boarding competition (similar to roller derby), followed by moto-cross race and just saw a power boat commercial for pulling wake boarders. I'm interested in how to make cats a recognizable household name...again <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

1943...Nice Work!!!

modding my pickup. I hope to be putting a twin turbo setup on the Cummins this spring. Should get me up around 450hp/1000ft lbs. tq

Killing un regulated animals. Coyote, rabbit, raccoons, squirrels, possum, striped/pocket gophers. I really need to go prairie dog hunting too.

Golf, mostly for the drinking.

I used to love playing paintball but haven't done it in two years

Target shooting. Favorite is the M1 Garand

PS3 eats up most of my winter as there is little else to do.

I've been kicking around building an iceboat but I have no where to store it, and the ice is rarely good enough for it. Being that I do woodworking for employment doing it for fun just doesn't have its appeal.

I've recently discovered ice fishing, but have yet to drop a line in the water. Mostly to get out of the house.

I used to snowboard, race motorcross on quads, rode dirtbikes but never raced, and did track days on a GSX-R 750 but never raced that either. Got rid of all the bikes, got sick of bleeding all the time and walking with a limp.

My favorite bike was a scooter. There is a ton of mod parts for the Zuma. Mine did 63mph and would wheelie like crazy. A bunch of us would trailer them up to Minneapolis where the Police had better things to attend to than kids trying to hurt themselves. It was amazing how much fun you could have with 7hp.

Karl,

I hear the Prairie Dog "hunting" is nothing more than target practice and not worth the trip.

Come down to one of Bobby's regattas in Little Rock sometime. He's got all the paint ball gear and a lighted "war zone" behind the Arriba Stick shop.

Had to LOL at your biking photos. Keep your damn feet BEHIND the handlebars if you don't like the scrapes!!! I rode the road racing predecessors to your generations bikes (after growing on hill climbers). You may have noticed my permanent limp thanks to a '65 Bel-air running a red light. I'm glad you got rid of them, there's a reason at the hospital they're referred to as donorcycyles.

Yeah, but if you hit em' right the prairie dogs explode. Paper don't do that.

Wow, where to begin?

In no certain order.....
bicycling, canoe/kayaking, astronomy, tennis, golf, fishing, geocaching, backpacking, camping, fossil hunting, metal detecting, etc, etc. I am sure I forgot something. My wife thinks I have too many hobbies. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Sailing takes precedence, but fishing/boating, restoring boats, hunting, and restoring my '79 Jeep are on the list.

big fisherman, love trolling off the Tiger. Also love surfing and kayak surfing whenever I can make it anywhere with waves. I really want to learn to kite surf. Unfortunately school tends to ruin most of my fun time. Just told one of my professors I need to reschedule a quiz if possible because I'd be baring the elements at Spring Fever..he was not amused. School = overrated

Little wood working (see pic). Lake house to store the cats. MARDI GRAS (yeah, I'm in South Louisiana). Skeet shooting cause you don't have to clean what you shoot, and just found I like scuba diving. Of course the things I like to do but can't qualify as hobbies are too numerous to list.
