Agreed Chuck... My most memorable moment in 35 years on the water was Sept 10, 2009 - driving Bojangles seaward through the harbour entrance at Port Credit Yacht Club in Toronto for the final time as we began our trip south. There's a photo of me doing this at 0:17 in the photo montage here <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0-1qIiaYno>and while I may look super serious and focused in the photo, I'm actually trying my hardest just to keep it together.
In my experience, nothing compares to that moment when you untie the lines and head out.... Watch this video - in HD, with the sound cranked - and then I dare you not to start making plans to cut the lines yourself.
