Re: raggies v stinkies - a culture clash?
I was once young and foolish, I enjoyed being rough, tough, cold, wet and living in variable positions-but never upright. I dressed like a michelin man and climbed into holes called bunks and lived on pre-prepared corned beef sandwiches. Whilst fighting wind and sails to achive an aproximate direction towards a dreamed of destination.
Now I have grown up. Rising at a civilised hour and showering in the en-suite, I phone before leaving UK to book a French restraunt then, having engaged autopilt, put the kettle on and croisants in the microwave.
What makes me smile is the number of Raggies that, when pressed, admit they actualy spend more time motor sailing than sailing. Why will they not really admit it and go the whole way.
Sailing is for fun, Engines are for going places.
