My brother wasn't steering the boat too good.. I kept telling him,, stay on
course, do this do that.

I went below..

When I came up on deck he was gone.

I looked back and he was sitting in the dinghy tied to the boat, a beer in
hand.

"What are you doing" I yelled.

He just laid back and sipped on the brew.

I finally pulled him back to the now totally messed up, off course boat.

He got on board,, I got out of the way ,, and away we went.

Your problem is YOU. Get the F...k out of the way. Leave your wife alone.
If she messes up..

Good for her. Let her mess up, let her have fun..

Pick a day when an accidental jibe isn't going to be a big deal.

Let her have at it..

Soon,, she will be telling you ..

"Get back on course".

It's the only way...

Dorothy was a hoot on the tiller at first.

She often proclaimed it, "Sick and Wrong! And backwards too!"
For a while it was refered to as the "Evil thing".

She still somtimes starts to go the wrong way, but she catches it
quickly now.

She's only rounded up once in a header - learned not to do that.

And she hasn't accidentally gybed.
A demo on a windy day was enough to figer it out.
She's REAL careful about that downwind.

All in all, for a non-tech girl, she's doing pretty good.
