this explains my prop wrap

and i thought there was a deeper reason. in a way, this explains everything-the accidental gybes, the torn mainsail, the plugged holding tank. just expecting too much of myself.

I was educated to believe that Daniel Burnham was the man to follow, but it turns out that . . . he was just another monkey.

A thoroughly depressing video, fortunately a work of fiction.

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.

that's just a monkey way of intellectually organising things remember, you have 90% of a chimp's dna. why, you could probably interbreed although the results would be sterile and look a lot like conrad black.
