I think that we all imagine "how I would do it" when thinking about

often only one way to do a lot of things and I doubt that anyone gave
the matter much thought. If you wanted to be a farmer you had top plow
the field and if you plowed the field you had to have a horse, and so
on.

If you wanted to be a sailor than the sail had to be reefed and if
you reefed the sail than you had to climb the mast....

My wording was poor. I should have said 'How could I do that' rather
than 'would' meaning I"d not search for a new method but rather a way I
could bring myself, to, in a gale, assume that position and do that work.
