I'll speak up, although I'm not "eligible".
Some of us don't have "run-meters" to determine our exact hours on the lake.
Sail-powered watercraft can spend
many-more hours out on the lake, taking in the Lakes Region's mountain scenery at a relaxing and peaceful rate of absorption.
• Try heading for your destination by fossil-fuel power and note the sailboats sailing in open water. They'll still be sailing—
hours later—when you return!

Sailing is more like 4-dimension TV, where the boat and the environment both are moving with respect to one another, but do so in near-silence.
When I happen to sail by anchored boaters, they'll often say, "You sure look relaxed".
(And it's true).
