Though it does seem strange to me for an AR aficionado to so resolutely avoid something so Ransomeish.
This is all getting out of hand. I am not 'resolutely avoiding' anything. I live inland, but yes, if I really put my mind to it there is a sailing club near a small lake about 20 miles away. I could no doubt do some training there, when I get the time and inclination. Enjoyment of AR's books is an entirely separate matter and is irrelevant to this topic. I simply don't fancy going out in a small boat on the E Anglia coast with a complete stranger - suppose, when we're half a mile offshore, 'Andy' starts Telling Me About Jesus?
