The 'Other Wall' thread being about members other non gun hobbies/collections got me thinking. So here is my 'other wall', not a collection but an obsession none the less. Also my retreat, and 'happy place'. Does anyone else share my dual passions? 
Fishing, boating and just being on the water are my other non gun passions, anybody else on here do similar? I am a member of the United States Power Squadron and have taken many advanced courses in seamanship and navigation over the years. I still have yet to master the sextant but when time permits, I plan to add that skill to my tool bag, not that I'll ever need it, but just to expand my horizons.

Sounds like a good skill to have Chris, and you never know when it could come in handy. I try hard to keep up my tracking skills along with my map and compass reading... you just never know..

When I was but a young teenager, I had the good fortune to spend some time sailing the lower Great Lakes with "Doc" Wilson, a friend of the family.
My REAL objective was his daughter, a goal partially achieved a few years later, but I did end up having a lot of fun learning the basics of sailing aboard his 32' Islander. We had many day sails, and a couple of 2-3 day sailing trips up Lake Huron and back to the Detroit Yacht Club.
I also did a LOT of bottom sanding and painting in the off season.
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

We had a small boat growing up at the lake not to far away. My dad sold it when I was a teenage but still go fishing with my uncle from time to time but not often enough! Certainly looks like fun!

I certainly think this opens up some questions that are probably not suitable for open forum!
