In case anyone has been missing this—as I have been—WBB "drives" the lake's largest watercraft. Actually, he navigates it to perfection!

On several occasions, when a total collapse of wind brings my unpowered sailboat to a halt, I've seen WBB alter course to avoid me—from a mile away! "Many-thanks" are due from your passengers AND me for having such an attentive skipper!

1) Sorry for the tardy reply. I overlooked not only your response, but missed the appearance of my own reply as well!

2) I also failed to respond to the poll as I was not finished boating and lost track of the poll's deadline. (And don't have an hour-meter on my sailboat, anyway).

However, after our epic rains of 40 days and 40 nights, I started to keep a log.

3) Among your reasons for NOT boating, were:

-Safety
-Fear
-Economy
-Price of gas
-Cost of tea in China


I regard weekends as a reason to not go boating! (And there are previous threads that show that others see it the same way).

If winds are right, I'll go out at 7:30AM, but retire from boating at about 10:30AM—on weekends only. Other boaters at that hour are usually attentive to smaller boats, but the boating "demographic" rapidly changes after about 10:30AM—on weekends in particular.

To your specified suggestions of "safety", "fear", "economy", and "price of gas", how many participants in this poll can give answers for a full season of weekdays-only boating?

(I can).
