Well...
...I didn't think so, however ex wife did, and decided that the husband of her best friend was at home more often than me!
The problem now is persuading the current Mrs Endy that she wants to spend MORE time sailing...women! Can't live with 'em can't live without 'em!!

Re: I think I have the answer!
No. I try to spend some of Saturday sailing the dinghy, and some of Sunday sailing Aeolus. I like to think of it as a balanced approach.

Are they all on the same computer or separate ones - logging in from work, home, boat?
As far as divorce - well, buying a boat didnt bring us together, as neither of us liked sailing with each other.
Running away to sea is still on MY cards - but not necessarily on my own. Current bloke likes going out on boats, is never sick (big advantage), can steer in small spaces ie marinas, but isnt mechanical, is navigationally challenged, is ageing (arent we all!) and prefers being a passenger. Not sure I can fill these spaces - would be like single handing. Life is full of changes of plan, eh?

Certainly it is
When I worked in sailing I used, occasionally, to think longingly of getting ashore and staying there for a while. Sometimes I used to welcome gales that kept us in port (although I was sorry for the crews with their couple of weeks holiday and raring to go) Never regretted NOT making sailing my long term career. Sailing is good, but so are lots of other things.

How are you? Have been keeping a weather eye for the Black Ketch this season, but haven't seen you as yet! Had some good sailing I hope?

I can't believe this thread is still going!! It's way down the page and still geting additions.
I'm lucky as my wife has sailed big boats for longer than me, is happy to spend most of our spare time on the boat, doesn't really go shopping or wear makeup and feels that £150 for a new halyard is perfectly justified. She even lets me go on my own sometimes.

Hi, Cobra
We're fine - you too, I hope. How's business?
Family matters have got in the way of sailing a bit this year, but still some good times. Pleasant little cruise southwards for a week earlier in the season - beam reach both ways - how lucky is that? Terribly expensive, though. Bang went a whopping £8 on berthing fees!!!!!! (All on a mooring in Queenborough) Hollowshore was nice - stayed two nights moored alongside a big Kentish smack (they're not as pretty as Essex ones...) and when we tried to pay the gaffer said "no charge, but if you go to the pub, you might leave a little something behind the bar for the lads.......") East Swale as lovely as always - lots of common seal pups in their red/brown fur. Vive la Cote d'Est!
We'll be about again during August and watch out for you.

My Russian lass even though she is often seasick, doesn't like wobbly pontoon fingers ........ BUT she is as keen for us to keep boating as I am .......
We have long discussions about our boats and what to do with them etc.
She especially loves Solent and having a boat there.

some men have trouble with their partners, so do some women. work it out, live with it or find a new one. i would again point out that twice as many women resort to the last of these.
but don't draw conclusions about the entire (fe)male population from a couple of examples.
