Hey, what a cool thread. I got a boat too! 30 years thinking about it and BANG, I got a boat. That they can really go somewhere, sail the world even, well, if you have a good one and you know what your doing. That your part of a life handed down through centuries, requiring knowledge to make it all work. No longer just a rider, hand on the throttle, listening to some screaming pounding fuel sucking beast, but a step up to being a genuine sailor. Even a newbie is a sailor of his own sailboat, where a PB operator is just "a driver".
And we dont have to sail round the world to enjoy it, we can just sit out on the lake and dream about it, ponder the possibilities of our new found freedom, watch the sails bend with the breeze. PB operators simply cant do that. Thats probably what irritates them so, seeing us out there, sailing along, not burning fuel, in silence.....
Come on, ya ever see paintings of powerboats on anyones walls?
