Oh my god. I could watch these all night long. I actually started laughing because it sounds like you are wasting your time because you make it look so easy. You are pretty much the best sailing teacher ever. hope to meet you one day. If scarface taught a sailing class it would be identical to this

Except that scarface was a nice guy compared to the mad portagee... I understand that he still practices flogging and has a cat o' nine tails on his boat for use on unruly crew.

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.
