I lost my Mojo and went out and bought another motorbike after having a ten year break now that is so much more fun than getting cold wet and wearing your knees out hiking so hard sailing   Party
Retired now after 35 seasons in a row and time for a rest.

Just wear your knees out on the road surface.

said the only man who has ever made a Vareo look desirable...

you are a sad loss to the sport, and a bloody idiot for not buying a Musto Skiff, keep in touch mate.

Thank you james i had enough of being on the wire from ten years of sailing a laser 5000 plus a shoulder injury put paid to anymore trapeze work hence never felt i could push those sorts of boats as hard as i could when hiking or in my case at events over hiking hence the knackered knees Cry

Don't you go sailing to avoid all the electronic crap? Did you have bluetooth and a headset?

Yep, actually I did... A motorbike splash proof one and my phone in an aquapac.... But that was 2008, 6 years ago and you're spot on... The electronic crap stays in the car these days!!!!

I do wonder.

Is it the sailing? or is it the associated stuff......PY discussions, crap beer at the clubhouse, club politics, little hitlers on the com, partisan attitudes (cats Vs monos or whatever), limited conversation, dragging overweight boats around on the beech, the time it consumes, banditry, duties ....the list goes on.

For a leisure activity there really are a lot of potential irritations. Stuff that can be tolerated at work but not during a fun activity.

What causes this loss of Mojo for you?

For a leisure activity there really are a lot of potential ways to enjoy yourself. Stuff that can be tolerated at work but becomes enjoyable for a fun activity.

What causes this growth of Mojo for you?


There, fixed that for you.
