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

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).

What's with that?

The commercial I take issue with is the one for rheumatoid
arthritis.saying or implying that if you take that meducation, you can
sail your boat. I've only known 3 people with that disease and even in
controlled stages they suffered from spontaneous bone fracture...
