Nutsy' trolling about how much he sails. Is there some kind of standard?
Is there a certain time? Frequency? Distance?

Does it make a difference where you sail?

Is there a requirement on how you sail?

In a Hove-to condition, do you count the time as sailing? Do you count
the distance you stay on station or how far you drift?

I use to moor across from a sailor who had a Junk rigged Schooner, set
up for single handing. He would go sailing two or three times a year. He
had two globe circling trips to his credit and untold numbers off trans
Pacific Trips. How would you count his sailing?

He would show up at the marina and start working on his boat and tell
me: "Tom, I'm going sailing in a couple of weeks." He would take off and
I wouldn't see him for months.

So, I ask, Does it make a difference?
