Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Those people are a nuisance because they get in the way. If I got on a sailboat (assuming it went anywhere at all) I would end up grounded on shore.

Or you would end up in the water upside down and getting in the way,

But, I'll speak for the other sailors as well and say that we are happy that you choose to stay ashore.

At one point in the 80s, The Police were the warmup act for The Knack of 'My Sharona' - and nothing else, ever - fame.

In fact you don’t even need to know how to swim to learn to scuba dive. I’m living proof of that.
