Actually that's before I even get to the driveway! That's just as steep, but sloped, so you can just run down it (must try going up it at some point!)
Amd sailing is indeed something I'll be wearing a harness for, though not to tie myself to the mast - I'll be using it in the cockpit whenever we start to get a bit ambitious and you start looking down at the other side of the boat, not across, I'm just not strong enough to be sure of holding myself in place otherwise. We'll probably be looking at around a 40 footer single-masted yacht, possibly two depending on if my friends are bringing their kids and how many of the rest of us sign up. And I did indeed learn to sail on the ocean, in the Canaries. And because the waters between Tenerife and La Gomera are a 'convergence zone', you get very weird local weather effects, which meant our first lesson was in a Force 9, and we were heeled over so far the lower side of the cockpit was under water. (Our instructor admitted it was possibly a little excessive for a first lesson!)
