Try to keep the trolling within the bounds of some semblence of credibility.


3 miles was beating against
approximately 11 mile an hour winds, and of course 3 miles on a run
on the way back.


If the wind didn't change direction, wouldn't your return trip have been a
broad reach?


And we both refuse to use terms like "jibe-ho" or "helms-a-lee."


So what do you say? "Turning left!"? "Turning right!"? "Pointing the sharp
end the way we came!"?

When you harden up, do you call, "pulling the rope on the swingy
stick-thing!"?
