Default What did these sailors do wrong?

Oh, sorry. The marinas here are staffed with nice, STRONG college boys
earning money for school. Most of them are in one of the several college
sailing clubs around Charleston, too. Many have been sailing all their
lives on parents' boats.

We're spoiled...(c; They man the radios until 10PM looking for more
tips. When Cap'n Geoffrey calls, they KNOW there's a nice tip, so come
running down the dock in a herd. He's one of the favorite boats. He
also takes them sailing with us if we're just going out to fool around
the harbor for no apparent reason. No sense working up a sweat grinding
winches when there are nice young people just itching to "come about".
