So what other hobbies do y'all have?
Just wondering what are some of things you enjoy doing outside of sailing and working on your boat.
I enjoy road cycling, running, working out, tennis, wrenching on my cars, hiking and camping. I also have a small vegetable garden in the summer. Winter time it's skiing and snowshoeing. These are in no particular order

If you're doing all of that, you're clearly not sailing enough.

Avoiding my wife's growing to do list takes alot of time. But I like to build Furniture, wood working, metal fabrication, welding, collecting tools both power and hand. Currently with our 2 year old twins I have no spare time for these hobbies (wife works second shift, I work first shift)

Photography, cycling, fishing, home renovation—though usually not mine.. However, spend a lot more time working on the boat than any of the above...at least until I've gotten her setup the way I want her to be setup.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

I enjoy testing my liver's ability to react to Cruzan Rum. 
Actually I enjoy swimming and snorkeling. Visiting Sailnet has become sort of a hobby in the last few months.
When living in the continental US I enjoyed: shooting, hunting, hiking, camping, 4-wheeling (rock crawling), and snowmobiling in the winter.

Sold the last boat and in the interim of getting the next one, I expected more time to devote to "hobbies".
But, similarly to air rushing to fill the void caused by a vacuum, non-office related time has mysteriously been filling up with "more pressing" deviations. The greatest time sponge being the wife's bottomless, honey-do list.
At least when we had the boat, sailing was a valid excuse to procrastinate from work, hobbies and house-related chores.

Harmonica and lead singer in a local band.
Music collecting and music history and song writing.
Computers and technology.
Dogs and dog training.
Honestly, I'm so fully addicted to sailing I'm thinking about it when I do all of the above anyway.

Wrenching on and racing cars, playing guitar, competative long range shooting, painting and drawing. And drinking. Anything to keep me out of an office environment.
