BTW, I do have cheap
rigging knives, the $20 version sold at Worst Marine, attached to the guest
life preservers... If you're not going to be careful with a
rigging knife, which may be needed to save your life, then you probably shouldn't be sailing. BTW, the marlinspike on the Boye Cobalt Carbide knife can be used to turn most
shackle pins.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
