I mostly went sailing at a summer camp growing up, and working there for a few years at the end of high school & after. Also sailed in high school, since my school had boats. Lasers and 420s, specifically. Summer camp had Sunfish, lasers, lightnings, and some bigger boats (I got to be the "captain" of a nice 33' sailboat during the last summer I worked there. :3 )

That's worlds more than me. I went on a canoe trip down the Pine river as a kid, and my dad had a friend with a boat that used to take us along the coast to see the sea lions congregate each year, and my "uncle" (miscellaneous male not-quite-relative) always has a boat of some kind that we used to go and see the fireworks festival on each year. Summer camp in Ontario I puttered around Lake Joseph on a catamaran, and that was great fun. Now I mostly get to drive a riverboat a little bit when I visit my dad and we actually go out on the river. I did decide to do something water oriented when I was in Denmark, and rented a kayak to mosey about the canals in Copenhagen.
