A simple small yacht has always been a pleasure... extreme luxury for me almost a turn off. My best ever boating experience was in a small boat 6 n miles off the west coast of Australia. In Thailand? paddling a simple traditional long boat. :) Nice thoughts. My mermaid self is wilting here in Northern Thailand just thinking about how far away the sea is!! Vietnam might be calling my name again, very soon.... or Krabi on the Andaman coast. :)
