Sailing

‘there is nothing  -  absolutely nothing  -   half as much worth doing as simply messing about in boats’                Kenneth Graham 

There is nothing as wholly absorbing as sailing.  Whether it is dinghy racing or ocean cruising it is a world of its own and  ‘warly cares an’warly men may a’ gang tapsalteerie ‘   (Rabbie Burns if you hav’nt already guessed, although he was talking not about sailing but about courting).

Anyway, if you are looking for a way to fill your hours pleasurably and healthily this is certainly worth further investigation.      See:
