>>929182not really, the thought of boat ownership does literally nothing for me. like I talk to people who dream of boat ownership and I'm like "there is something wrong with you". I talk to people who used to work on boats and I view them in about the same way as I view war refugees. probably some interesting stories but I'm not sure if it's too traumatic so I'd rather not bring it up. I talk to people who think joining the navy sounds cool and I think "well at least it's not ISIS"
I think boats are useful and all but the idea of having some personal life dream involving boats, let alone taking pleasure in being on board a boat, is beyond me. like, it's cool that there are people willing to work on them for money but to me it sounds about as appealing as working in a cattle slaughtering factory or in the city facility that converts everyone's excrement into something that's safe enough to dump into the bay. useful to society, sure, but not my idea of pleasure or even a highly esteemed job. more like riding past a horrible car wreck and thinking "better them than me".
