I never said sissy. I only call yachties on their pomp when they're pompus. Some of my best freinds are rich salty dudes with fancy boats. I often sit watches on their yachts in the comfortable air conditioned cockpit , enjoying the space age glow of computer screens and smart helms that turn themselves on que to a wait point on the intergrated chart plotter, skyping with my wife on the upper corner of the screen while she is watching our blipping progress on the lower corner of her's. It's neat. I can't help if single handling under 30 foot engineless sloops across open stretches of water with a sexton and a thermos look's kind cool and salty to some, it kind of is.
