I think you are right, with comparing it to sailing, but yes!! Less control! You would absolutely love it! In fact, my first ride was when I was an ignorant teenager while volunteering to help set up balloon race on the East Coast of Connecticut. That is the way to suck you in for life!!! :)

I think you should do it! You would love it!

But, you are right about the burners. That can be intimidating if you don't know what to expect. But, honestly, I see you at the helm of a sailboat. Hat, sunglasses and classic white. Oh! Don't forget the Docksiders.
