Wow you really are misguided. How about this for an answer: Their
itinerary dictates that they have a destination first, THEN carry on
with fun sailing. And yes, today's boats allow for tacking, not
worldwide adventure routes. Sailing has come to whatever people want
sailing to be. And motorboats are a very valid way of boating. It's
pompous boneheads like you that insult others that give sailing a bad
name.
