Of course, stuff like this scares the bejezuz out
of the reluctant spouses, thereby ensuring that
there are more solo sailors out there


I don't think that's a bad thing. She might take more interest in the
boats OPERATION and maintenance and less interest in how pretty the cushion
colors look with those drapes. Way too many women aboard are just dead
weight passengers. Men need to test this out when crusing around the
harbor. Without warning, call down to The Princess on the settee and say,
"I just fell overboard. What do you do?", and sit back in the cockpit and
let the boat round up into the wind on its own with no helmsman.

For some, the test would be quite a shock to watch.....
