Why Dont Most Boats Go Anywhere.

I think it's an easy answer. Most people have to work 5 days a week and also have children. So any trips are either at weekends and you can't go far in a weekend and it be worth while, or longer trips during school holidays.
You have to be lucky to have booked holiday from work to coincide with school holidays and good enough weather to warrant going on a long trip.

Of course if you are retired then you'll neither have the worry of booking the right weeks holiday or kids.

Some folk seem to think I've asked this question in some sort of derogetary way. No I have not. When kids were young and work to do, we just had little boats that we could sail on the local res on a Saturday afternoon. Maybe money had some thing to do with it as well.

But I still cant understand why folk would buy a boat, they have no time to sail or even visit. Theres nowt wrong with it becoming the country cottage, especially in winter. We're sat on the boat now, all snug and warm even though the WEbasto has packed in again, more about that on an other thread.

Don't think anyone has really taken it that way, just peeps being a bit defensive. Personally, I'm just jealous yer jammy t**t!
