Good question...
It's a great way to feel totally humble to realise quite how small you are, no amount of money changes this when it is you vs the elements
It's a great leveller, everyone is equal, the captain of a 200,000 ton ship will quite often fall into a 24ft cruiser at the weekend.
It's is the dreams of escape, without laws and the police state bogging you down.
It's in the blood for many, can't help it, it feels wrong not to have a boat, even if it is a 10ft sailing dinghy, it is about being on the water.
Like a mountain climber who say's "Because it's there", I say, because I have to!
You are right, I don't understand why I own a boat, if an accountant put it all down on paper I would cry, but as said, I have to.

The buzz
the fun
the exhilaration
listening to the noises in a marina while dropping off to sleep, which tells you you are on the boat, and stresses and tribulations of work have been left behind
the company, barbeques, late night drinking sessions
The being out at sea, when land is out of sight, and you feel you are accomplishing something few landlubbers ever do.
Taking on sea states when you know most would be heading for marina, not heading out
The pure joy of plugging through rough wet windy conditions, when suddenly the sun gleams through a tiny gap in the clouds, and while bathed in warmth and light, the world suddenly and temporarily seems like a wonderful and magical place to live in.

Its the feeling that when I draw level with the two pier heads outside St Peter Port and look behind me I can see my mortgage, my daily grind, and all the things I hate behind me, then I accelerate away at 30 knots with a big grin on my face knowing for a short time I have left the problems of life behind.

Re: Why Boating/ and another thing
And its funny how when anything goes wrong, I for one and probably you guys do the same, am not happy until I have it fixed, it seems whatever the cost, as it is so annoying when any one item isnt working.
Its more pronounced than say attention and time spent on the car, which is merely viewed as an necessary object there to get you to and fro your boat. As long as it runs and is legal fine. No it appears that people treat their boats like its a baby or a dear friend, who needs attention and repays with hours of pleasure.
