The benefits of owning a sailboat (with footnotes)

I’m planning to acclimate myself as well in the near future with some sailing out on the Chesapeake, but I’ll take your recommendations. Took a three hour tour (♪ a three, hour, tour ♪ ) on Monterey Bay at sunset a few years back and kept my eyes glued to the horizon while 40% or more of the other whalewatchers had become rather ill. They also made the crucial mistake of sitting to the rear of the boat which was also filled with diesel exhaust. As rough as that was to watch, I did feel the inner glow of un-sickness but absolutely did not take my eyes off of the horizon the whole time, whales or no.
