O'Hara,

Read your "shame and debasement" post and was stunned that you have
failed to train a crew. If you fell overboard everyone might die. I
bet
your
wife can cook, drive a car, etc. so why can't she sail? Clearly she
is
capable of learning stuff.
Rather than trying to analyze and correct your teaching skills send
your
wife to a school run by someone with a reputation for competence. The
goal
is for her to learn how to sail not for you to learn how to teach.
I'm assuming here that your wife does want to learn how to sail.

I do not sail with my wife much. I mostly sail single handed where I
use a harness. Even with my wife, I wear an auto-inflatable lifejacket
with personal EPIRB. She simply has little desire to sail.


Time to trade it in for a nice power boat. ;-)

Why, I like sailing? Besides, i will soon have a power boat too.


It was a joke..........a joke..........get it? Hmmm...

Based on your 'Shame and Debasement" story and how you treated your wife you
need to take a couple of steps back and chill out. Life is too short guy.
