Default Baseball caps for sailing?

Great pictures Roger! First time I've seen them.

I like wearing baseball caps when not spending long periods in intense sun
(then, it's my big floppy canvas sailing hat, I always know which way to
put it on because the mildew goes on the right) but the frequency with
which they blow off is maddening. It makes for great MOB practice and I'm
proud to say I've never left one behind. I also have a fair collection
from boats I've designed, Titanic Expeditions, etc.

My constant running and boat maneuvering to retrieve wayward caps has
given me a bit of a complex. I can't recall ever in my life seeing
someone else lose theirs. I've suspected for years that there might be
something strange about the shape of my head and I suddenly realized that
this photo from my recent cruise confirms it.

What do you think? Do I need to retire my collection of caps? Was there
never any hope of my being a professional ball player, aside from not
being able to hit, catch, or run?

If your hats blow off, please let me know, I'll feel much better.
