Before anyone passes judgement. ...I have a most beloved 30 hp yamaha on the back of my sail boat and never leave port without twice as much petroleum as I suspect I'll need.

So ....clearly. ...I rely on motor even if I prefer sail.

BUT

bloke I met today traveling the world on a motor cruiser...just fuel up ....7k euro...

Does this every month....ffs....would you truly try and travel the sea without sail power ?
His clearly crazy....which I'm sure was his impression of me as he viewed my boat


Can anyone explain why anyone would prefer a motor boat over a sail boat????

Jeeze....I just couldn't put up with the constant noise !!!!
