Everybody made fun of me when I told them about kedging off a dock.
But, they're just stupid and afraid to try something that works and that men
used to do before motors were put in sailboats. If you'd been here to listen
to me you would have kedged off and not gotten into trouble. I'm right and
this proves it...... :-o~~~~~~ That's for the rest of you. Dare I say it?
PUTZES! (forgive me Capt. Neal)
We girls use our heads because we know we can't always rely on strength.
That's one thing (of many) about us that's superior to men.
