Stay in a marina too long, and turn into a 'yacht club junkie' is and easy trap to fall into. We did it for a couple of years and we found we were missing what sailing was all about for us. We decided to get out of town and cruise the Channel Islands for a couple of weeks.

Yeah,,,, had to remember what it was really about. Still enjoyed dressing for the parades though.
