By the way Rich are you saying that you have bigger stones than me because you fell off your boat? I am confused by your point.
As for brass balls, without looking it up. I think it has to do with heat. Didn't American sailors in the 1800's or something like that say, "It's hot enough to melt the face off a brass monkey?" I think I read that somewhere.

Sailing Dog: I picked up the Webb Chilies book at lunchtime. I am looking forward to reading it. Thanks for the tip!
