Di loves sailing, and particularly likes it when the boat heels.

Same here. She is not that interested in sailing as such, but likes being out on the sea. She especially likes windy days with plenty of waves. She usually stretches out on the leeward cockpit seat and snoozes. Hard on the wind it doesnt do too much for the balance of the boat, but she is totally relaxed. It works for me because those days are the days when I am least likely to be out on my own for long. It just feels more comfortable to have someone else out there.
I remember one argument we had on virtually wind less evening which was brought on because it was so dull and she was totally bored. I was, of course, happy tweaking the sheets, etc trying to get the gps to show .1 knot more. She wasnt. Now I check the wind for minimum wind speed, rather than the max, before suggesting sailing.
