Man that's a lot of fish!

It sure is. I'd really like to catch a big fish someday but it would
be difficult from our boat, especially with just the two of us on
board. You'd really like to have an experienced person at the helm to
back the boat down and keep the fish positioned properly, along with
another two or three people to help out in the cockpit.

Don't tell me that lovely lady hasn't received her helmsman merit badge
over the thousands of nautical miles you've traveled. Shame on you.

She can manage the basics but precision maneuvering is not her forte.
Darn good cook however and keeps the home fires burning.
