What can you bring from yachting to daily life ?

[oughtoc]

A slight sense of bliss when I use the loo that isn't moving nor tempremental.

A sunburnt head

Shouting 'STARBOARD!' at other ski-ers that converge with me from the left side of the piste.

The ability to drink a beer, answer the mobile, light a cig and check a chart (map) all at the same time whilst driving........

The desire and knowledge that I can go anywhere I please when I want without having to pay any attention to anybody - but if I don't heed nature, I may well find myself in deep poop!

The knowledge that a tight headsail luff is not the be-all-and-end-all of life.

Learning how to handle gross uncertainty.

Though perhaps that's changed since VHF, mobile phones, GPS, Navtex, GRIB files and other weather charts, three day forecasts, marinas, RADAR, AIS . . . so nowadays . . .

Learning how to use technology sensibly? Hmm. Not so much fun now, less adrenalin.
