Although Portugal is supposed to be a country of sailors I am not one of them.I can't sail, although I used to like being a passenger every now and then.
"Used to" because it's been quite a long time since I last went for a sail.
Still sometimes when I am in a marina I feel like getting on a boat and setting off to some far away place.
Most likely that far away place would be the bottom of the Ocean given my lack of sailing skills.

How about a row boat? That should be easy, even if you don't know to row you can go around in circles :-D
I used to go sailing in Jamaica...that is, I sat in the boat while others did the hard work. Wonderful!
Row boat? That I can do. Without going around in circles. Can't say I like much though.
DC, you're too harsh on yourself! You are still young enough to learn how to sail without hitting rock bottom!
I dreamt a long time ago of owning my own yacht but nowadays, I'd rather take a ferry!
Word Verification: Icarvs! He never learnt to fly let alone sail!
I've always wanted to live on a sail boat and be nomadic for a few years. The difficulty is that they are a lot of work, and I'm quite clear that I don't want to do it.
Big boats yes, little boats no, I tried sailing toppers once and couldnt even get in the thing. Do dive though, would have to get the wetsuit on pretty quick...
see at the bottom DC...!
i wanna go too!!! ...wait... to a far away land.. not the bottom of the ocean...
I sailed before with a group of people, and that was tough for me. I got seasick during the journey hah..that was like 7 years back
i am TERRIFIED of boats. i absolutely hate them and the ocean. drowning, sharks, etc... its all so scary. uhm, which i guess would make me an awful pirate. LOL. i'm like one HUGE contridiction, aren't i?
sometimes i wonder about my heritage as well. being portuguese and not liking to be inside boats at all - i can canoo fine but i hate cruises or even taking the liner across the channel from Calais to Dover...
Infante Dom Henrique would have never enlisted my services!
never say: desta agua não beberei. Next year at this time you will be posting about your sailing trip around the world SOLO!!!
cream: The biggest snag is that I lack the will to learn how to sail. I enjoy being a passenger but that is about it.
hayden: Same problem here, too many things to learn and after that too much work, on a boat there is always something to repair.
CR: Diving, caves... you really are the underground kind heh? ;)
ale: By boat? Somehow it's easier to imagine you on a big cruise ship than on a tiny sail boat...
starlet: Seasickness is nasty, fortunately I've only had that once.
bees knees: LOL Some pirate indeed!!!
coffee addict: Don't bet your money on it. :)
TGOV: Is it just my imagination or you're starting to plan something on the line of taking S to a desert island or a small secluded bay? ;)
Hopefully, living near a big lake, I will be able to afford a boat some day. I do enjoy being on or near the water
