If access is difficult for any reason, it's a pain in the ass to have a boat. I have an eighteen foot hobie cat sitting in a barn for over 20 years that I've sailed probably a half dozen times. Rigging her is a two person job, and it takes awhile before she's even set to get in the water. Unrigging her is just as much of a pain. She's too small to really justify any sort of boat storage outside of the barn she's sitting in, and she's sort of become an albatross for me. She's close to forty years old, and the repairs I'd need to make to make her either salable or sailable are quite significant.
I understand the lure of boats though. I'd love to have the time, experience and money to get a 25" or so foot sail boat to tool around Galveston Bay and even go on overnight trips down to Matagorda or even down to Vera Cruz if I were adventurous.
I think instead, I'd be better suited to get my barefoot certification and rent when the sea calls me.
In the meantime, I'll ride on friends' boats.

I will not sit here passively while you all urinate on Coltrane's boat dream. It's disgusting. Unless Coltrane and his boat dream are into that sort of thing. In which case, it's cool, I guess. I mean, whatever floats your boat, sts. Anyhoo, I think Coltrane should get a big ass boat. Big and expensive. Because Coltrane is young and a big time player,
the whole wifey thing notwithstanding. Players gotta play. In boats.
