   I do both and would **** to choose between them.

   Dinghy sailing is probably the more expensive, but can lead to all sorts of things down the road. Ocean or sea kayaking probably provides more of a cardio workout, but dingy sailing takes more fitness than people think.

   If you get into dingy racing, that will provide an unique competitive challenge and a sense of commoradarie.

   I’ve been fortunate to be very involved in day sailing, day kayaking, as well as longer cruising and long ocean sea kayak trips, not to mention extended bike touring, backpacking and extended canoe trips. However my favorite memory of them all was a 36-day sea kayak trip. Being out of sight of land in a sea kayak was the high light.

   Do what seems right for your circumstances. Anything that gets you out on the water enjoying yourself is the right choice.
