My first musing is that I wished I hadn't used the word 'subversive'. I'm what might be termed a dyslexic touch-typist, which is to say that I constantly juxtapose my keys. My fingers really get entangled around the word 'subversive'.
We do not need big boats and lots of money to go sailing. Anywhere. Sailing books and articles should be about people and their boats, not money, marinas and meals out. We do not need satcoms, a watermaker or a chart plotter. We should be allowed to be responsible for ourselves, not be made to spend money on rescue equipment. We should buy our own adventures and not beg: aka sponsorship. We can have a small, inexpensive boat, but a vast, wealthy life! DOWN WITH CONSUMER CRUISING!
