Default Sailing Commerical

One of my charters this year never left the dock.
It was a photo shoot for blood pressure medicine.
They would have taken all day if I hadn't warned them
of a front coming through.

I think it is because sailing is one thing people work
for for years. And of course many people when they
turn their attention that way are too old with weak
hearts and so forth to actually sail.

So they market what people want (the sailing dream)
with the patch solution (medicine).

Just about every Drug company and retirement fund in the world uses
Sailboat in it's commericals.

What's with that?
