And yet you get a car that is only good for day carring....I find that when at anchor, yotties and proper boaters, all behave the same ....swim, walk on the beach, lie in the sun...the only difference is that motorboaters will eat in the beach restaurant and they don’t release sewage into the sea...
I have a car that is like all cars it is good for however much fuel is in it which depending on the car I get into can be anywhere between 850Km and 650Km and of course just how heavy my right foot happens to be.
Well I must not be a proper "yottie" then because I have an aversion to lying in the sun, walking or lying on beaches, I have however swam whilst at anchor on the odd occasion usually to check the anchor but it wasn't often and I have taken my tender to the shore to eat in restaurants but they have as far as I can remember never actually been on a beach. Probably because I have never taken my boat into the Mediterranean, I don't even remember doing so when I crewed to the Caribbean many years ago.
All my boats had holding tanks and they actually had sails that enabled them to go to. places without the use or at least very minimal use of an engine.
