Over the years, I&#8217;ve taken rides on friends&#8217; motor boats, I&#8217;ve done a bit of paddling, and I&#8217;ve ferried to any number of places when I&#8217;m traveling. But sailing? Real boating? No. It&#8217;s still rowboat and oars for me.<\/p>\n<p>When we went to pick up Carol and Peter at the marina, it was simple to find them. Not only was their boat the only one with a mast, the mast is 58 feet (the boat about 37 feet long). Everyone who walked by looked up. It&#8217;s a lovely sailing vessel. Our friends are lifelong sailors, including cross-oceanic voyages. (They are also world-class pediatric neurologists&#8230;in their free time.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you paddle? Motorboat? Sail?
