Miss Jupiter Smith,
You've got some nerve, calling sailing for its own sake "boring." Even if that's how you felt it's entirely unconscionable that you'd write that to me. The wind, the waves, the speed, the salt spray. Traveling is wonderful, of course, but that's hardly the point of sailing — the best bits of it are the long stretches where there's no land in sight and the wind is high and the seas are rough.
Zelda and I went sailing for our honeymoon. Not in the open ocean — we've got a boat but she's too small for that sort of sailing — but still. The destination isn't the point.
I bought the boat for Zelda instead of a ring. That's us all over, isn't it?
Looking forward to seeing you soon. I'll try and forgive you for the insult to sailing in the meantime.
