And I want you to get one ;) Sailing had always been on my "someday bucket list," but I kept putting it off since I could never make the time to take the week or two off to do the course. But once I started learning, it was so much more deeply satisfying than anything else in my life, that it immediately became a top focus. Before I'd even finished my captain's license, I had already hit "buy it now" on an ebay listing (admittedly reckless and not recommended, but I couldn't wait). That being said, boats are floating money pits (the rule of thumb is that you spend half the boat's price again, every year, in maintenance and mooring) and take a ton of upkeep, so I think it's only viable if it's a major piece of your life and you're willing to devote considerable time o it. Otherwise, it just sits there, losing money while accumulating chores. I sold mine during the first lockdown, but I'll absolutely get another someday, once I'm ready to wrap my life around it again. |
