Why do we sail? A new year begins.

Heave,  Ive a C-22 and a H23 in my boatyard dying for a new owner and water.  The C-22 is on a great trailer, the Hunter is not. Bring me 1k and either is yours.

Why do we sail?  To be closer to the elements, to understand, to utilize and to quietly enjoy the wind and water.  It's almost a zen thing.  We can't see the wind.  We can only see what it does.  To paraphrase the great Russian sailor Valentin Mankin, I see the wind in shades of color.   I wish I could

I have always found being on or near the water to be restorative. So swimming, surfing, floating, sitting on the beach, etc all rejuvenate something inside of me. I enjoy being on any boat and I find riding a jet ski or tubing to be thrilling and great fun, but sailing... is different, it's nostalgic, it's pensive, reflective, it's relational (no shouting over the drone of motor). I'd like to say it's beautiful and graceful, but probably not when I do it, at least not yet anyhow that's a quick pathetic attempt at trying to explain something that you all probably also feel.
