I do not disagree with your philosophy that sailing boats should sail and that is the primary purpose of them--I applaud it in fact. In my own tub I hate the sound of an engine--use it only to get...

Well--I think you are all being a tough on Heather. She was not setting off to cross an ocean at this point--she was making her way south with intended stops along the way. The only thing I thought...
