Am I being cheeky? No, I'm not, I hope. If I did what you described, I'd be.
I came across this America's cup thing already. I'm just in the process of getting my mind ready to book it as it's not really cheap. But thanks for your post, it confirms that I should go for it...
And should I get to the Great Lakes eventually, I'll try and bother as cheekily as I can.
