Playing with it does not count. What's it for?

1st he says I don't adjust it. Now he sees that I do.
I adjust it depending on who's behind the wheel. Some of the Alien girls have
long hair and it catches.

ROFLOL......... So that's how you decide proper backstay tension. What happens
if there's a long haired runaway driving on a light air day?

Well that's perfect. We ease it, which will keep it correct for her hair as
well!

That'll explain your 'adjustments' then. Do they get excited when you go
all sailorlike and pull ropes with your great bulging muscles? Is that
what scared of Julia your former wife to be?

Nope, virtually everyone here has experienced injuries. I haven't and we have a
lot of people out sailing every year. This summer we had more than 70 people
out sailing.
Think I'll stick to what works, not someone's rule that makes no apparent
difference.

I thought you said you got a hernia from lifting a bicycle?

FYI, it's not a rule. It's a good suggestion.

It's a good suggestion from far better sailors than I. I try
to learn from the advise of others. My suggestion is you
give that a try.
