I had never gone boating before. It never interested me so much except for the romance of the chic rich girls in stripes and capris and the chic rich boys in linen and boat shoes that are always doing it in French movies of the sixties.
But in America, today, it is not exactly upper class chic anymore, still pricey, but more bourgeois which means I met much nicer people on the docks than those that populate my upper crust fantasy.
I grew up land locked and stay land locked in my heart, so it seemed like a very expensive and silly hobby; but when I did it for the first time recently and have to say it is soothing and relaxing and extremely pleasant and now I understand.
But what do you think?
