Very well done Wayne! For what it's worth, when someone asks me why ham radio and CW in the era of cell phones and internet, I usually ask them the question "Why do people buy sailboats?". It's a great way to start the conversation, and I usually see lights go on. As you eloquently illustrated, there's a lot of charm and fun to be had by taking the old traditional paths rather than the freeway. It requires a lot of knowledge and skill to be a good CW operator or a sailor in a wind powered vessel.
