I'm just reading the above book at the moment - it's very funny (mostly in a wry grin, rather than laugh-out-loud sort of way). I came across one bit which I thought chimed in well with a recent thread on how much we use our boats:
"...your actual average yachtsman spends:
a) 36.24 hours per annum sailing or motoring away from his mooring
b) 111.94 hours per annum preparing to depart or arrive at state (a)
c) 286.45 hours per annum purchasing equipment and discussing states (a) and (b)
d) 2,174 hours per annum working to pay for states (a), (b) and (c)"
Well, it appealed to my sense of humour, anyway...
