you better is to pay more attention to the ripples indicating gusts of
wind and to be alert and move quickly as small sailboats are tender.

I used to sail a 16' with a friend and he would warn me of gusts and wind
shifts by the water ripples. I just can't see the darn things. Obviously
it is a skill I have to develop!

He also drives at 85mph, steering with his knees while opening food
packages; skis straight down black diamonds; and free climbs 40' shale
cliffs. I can't do those either.
