sheesh Scout....Let me explain this very carefully for you....most women
do better learning to sail from someone they are not emotionally involved
with...you know, the old control issue thing...Does your wife want to swap
you when you sail together?

Nonsense...... it's not a control issue in a proper relationship. It's a
security issue resulting from a sailor's lack of confidence in themselves.
I've seen wives screaming at their husbands during what was a routine tactic
or procedure as well as men yelling at their wives. It comes down to
trust... like all relationships.

The cure for this is Rum in generous quantities while underway...... :-)

Right...she should pour enough rum down his gullet so he'll go below
and sleep it off so she can sail in peace...sounds right to me ; }

However, one must be careful, particularly with spouses. From the log
of the SV "Never Better" Endeavor 38, Summer of '89, BVI, under the
category of "things we learned on this cruise".

"The rum ration, a longstanding tradition whereby the British Navy
controlled both the timing and the amount of libations by the crew, is
both practical and necessary. We discovered this after observing
Helen and Sheri, when left to their own devices, with regard to the
pain killers".

"A consensus decision concerning the itinerary is mathematically
impossible with eight people and two boats".

"Sidney has discovered the meaning of life and he is not telling
anyone"!

You mean emotions like uncontrolled rage? Abject hatred? Loathing?

Found this newsgroup just a bit ago and have been reading. Can't get a
handle on it though. Seems as though it's not too serious about
sailing. Can someone recommend a good newsgroup for learning and
posting newbie questions, like "I have a fear of sailing with my
husband"
Thanks.

Most of the folks here have been here for ages and have gone beyond
the question point.
Why do you have a fear of sailing with your husband? Is he unskilled?
Oftentimes it is best if women learn to sail from someone other than
their spouse/boyfriend/etc. Can you enroll in a Womanship class?
Remember too that any problems you have in land life will be
exacerbated within the small confines of a boat.

I don't understand this comment! If a woman has faith in her husband, then
this question shouldn't arise.

What on Earth is a "Womanship Class"? It sounds like a subsidised event
where women learn how to get a divorce ... before they discover that life
ain't so easy after all.

Very true!

You can trust someone in a relationship but have no faith in their
sailing abilities. I'm sure Suzanne trusts Bobbie as a husband but
should she tryst him as a sailor?

Womanship is an organization of women who offer sailing lessons to
other women. It is a business.

Donal,
We are in agreement. My wife has never known relaxation anywhere else like
sailing.
