It is a Sickness

Boat parts soaking in the bathtub.  Sails under the bed and in the closet.  One half finished sailboat in the garage and the latest copy of Cruising World magazine read three times, highlighted and pages dog-eared.  I have a case of the "Landlocked Sailor" blues.  They doctors have said that there is no medication that will help.

I have it bad.  Yes, I have sails in the closet and under the bed.  No I don't have boat parts in the tub, yet.  I do have a half finished sailboat in the garage that is always for sale and I can't wait for my issues of Sail and Cruising World to arrive in the mail.  I would say I am addicted.  A sailboat junky.  My wife calls it my porn. 
Where can I get my next fix?  Boat shows, docks and magazines only get you so far.  Actually sailing is the only cure.  Running with the wind is what sets me free.

My evenings are filled with searching Ebay and Craigslist for used sailboats for sale.  Again, I am addicted.  I don't even need a computer any longer.  I have an App for that.  My Android phone is Ebay and Craigslist friendly.  I have alerts set for Craigslist to alert me to new postings for sailboats.  On Ebay, I save listings for view before the auction ends to see if I can get a good price on a O'day 28.   As for now, I will remain stuck between two corn fields dreaming of sailing adventures.
