This title reminded me of my favourite Royal Navy toast:
to
" The wind that blows,
The ship that goes
And the Lass that loves a sailor!"

Subject: Stus-List Economic justification for owning a boat
I just got off the phone with a friend of mine who just lost his job
at a major video game developer after 7+ years. He was a lawyer,
like me, but was doing more of a business development role
there. We have a common love of all things video game related with
similar backgrounds. As we were chatting about our industry and the
other usual BS that goes into one of those conversations, I
mentioned that if he still had the available bandwidth after the
season started, the should come over to Vashon for a sail. He said
he was interested and I started to talk about sailing...the sounds,
the feel of the boat when it metamorphosizes from a hole in the
water into a machine driven by unseen forces.
Here was his response..."Tom, your whole tone totally changed when
you started talking about sailing..you were calmer and seemed to be
taken away to somewhere else."
I cannot put a price on that....nor should I have to.
