It is always exciting opening up The Wizard and prepping for a day sail or for many days out on the water. The excitement remains strong due to being on the water environment. It does not matter if I am sailing with mates, solo, motoring, motor sailing or with a buddy boat this excitement is always present due to the environment and challenges of the day.

I am often reminded of a quote by Walt Whitman

After you have exhausted what there is in business, politics, conviviality and so on – what remains? Nature remains.
