dumb . . . dumb . . . dumb

A few years ago, I was sailing wing & wing in very light winds.

Since I couldn't feel the wind on my back, I felt that closing my eyes and paying very strict attention to the slightest breeze on my back would then give me an idea if the wind was coming from port or starboard.

It didn't work, but when I opened my eyes I did see the boom coming from port about 2 seconds before impact.

what a lesson...
