The incident came to mind the other day when, at a pig roast in French Polynesia, a fellow yachtie and countryman uttered the same sentiment.
I doubt there is one, but if you''re the sort of yachtie who likes to use his engine to get out of the marina, immediately set his sails, and only use the engine to get into a harbour, then you''ll be disappointed.
Heading west, we hit the yachtie base of Newport in Rhode Island which was exactly that - a series of marinas filled with millions of dollars of expensive sailing craft and an overabundance of elderly American women, in one case all dressed in a clash of red and purple outfits, presumably so they could spot each other easily with their failing eyesight
