[QUOTE 5392058, member: 9609"]that was always on mine too, even had a yacht for a while and learnt to sail her all by myself (nobody would ever come out with me), it wasn't all I thought it might have been either, its very cold all of the time (even on a hot summers day), you're always wet, and you just get stotted about all the time, permanently covered in bruises, trying to sleep is completely impossible for the noise of stuff banging about, water sloshing against the side and the fear of been mowed down by something like an oil tanker, trying to cook anything is also totally impossible so entire diet is tins of cold ambrosia creamed rice - and on top of all that everything is stupidly expensive.
the only enjoyment in owning a boat is selling it to somebody else.
Oh, and I never got round the world either, in fact I never got out of site of land, it was more Captain Redbeard Rum than Ellinor Mcarthur[/QUOTE]
My cousin briefly owned a yacht. He said it was like standing in a cold shower tearing up £50 notes. This from a guy with the sea in his blood, he was a Chief Engineer in the merchant navy!
