Our neighbors heard that Brighton likes boats, and they were kind enough to invite us to join them on a short sail. It was a beautiful night, and a very cool experience for us. We were all fascinated by the sails, ropes, and work that goes into each ride. Brighton ended up being lulled to sleep, so we snuggled watching the waves as the sun set. Jon actually drove the boat - not an easy task for a rookie. He also furled the jennie...I think that's what it is called. 
The experience left us understanding why they enjoy it so much, and really in awe of the hobby. Ahoy Matey!

I stand corrected. I have been out on a sailboat on Lake Michigan. My parents had one when I was really little, but sold it after my sister was born. I don't blame them as I can't imagine sailing with two little ones.
