Yesterday when Xander and I were in the car, we were driving along the Maas and saw a yacht going by. Then we got to discussing yachts and boats and how great it must be to have one. <\/p>\n
I made a comment about how it would be nice to go for a ride in a yacht someday or how nice it would be to rent one for a week, after which he promptly corrected me that one does not RIDE in a boat, they SAIL.<\/p>\n
I argued that it’s only sailing if the boat actually has sails. Otherwise it’s a ride. I wouldn’t consider it sailing if I was in a yacht with no sails and a motor, but he disagrees vehemently and said that anytime you are in ANY boat, you are sailing.<\/p>\n
I asked why people say that they are going for a boat ride then, and not a boat sail. He huffed and rolled his eyes and dismissed me as being silly and argumentative but I thought it was a pretty good point!<\/p>\n
So, what do YOU do on a boat with no sails? Are you still sailing or are you riding in a boat. I’m curious to hear what other people think of this!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
