Home is the sailor home from the sea and hunter home from the hill?
Home?
Lets see now. Fleet White liked to sail. Its not a poor man's hobby. He has his name on some cup somewhere in some yacht club; yacht club dues ain't cheap. Indeed, NOTHING in Newport Beach is cheap. Nothing even near Newport Beach is cheap.
But I would wonder about 'sailing' as a major hobby.
I could understand moving from the Pacific Coast to the Atlantic Coast. I could understand moving to a place with a great many lakes and continuing a sailing hobby.

But to the best of my knowledge, I think Colorado is not the state to move to if one wants to keep the same interests and activities alive.

I've never quite accepted this 'moved because its a great place to raise kids'. Kids around Newport Beach may be rich but they are generally healthy and happy.

Did something happen within the family that vastly shrank Fleet's income? So he had to move and could not follow his sailing hobbies on his own?
