Wait!  Don't forget that there is a symlink from /dev/sailboat to
/dev/null.  You're supposed to go out on a boat to get *away* from
things!  And you should either be busy sailing or paying attention to your
companion(s) -- if you're going to be solitarily on the net, there are
better places than sitting alone in a puddle!

But, I bet you could do the net's first netcast fishing show (god, that's
an unfortunate word in this context.)  Can you get a data output from a
fish finder?  I bet you could sell some pretty big advertising on a
webcast (that's better) -- and your audience would probably be pretty
huge -- think of all the people watching web fishing at work when the boss
isn't looking...
