Thanks Roger... for a memory..! Now I will explain. (smile)

While viewing your photos I noticed you had one of the schooner
"Adix of London".

During July of last year... this same vessel was moored at Apia,
Independant Samoa... and I also photographed same. It definitely
is an eye catcher.

One particular morning the crew and I broke out our binoculars to
watch some nice looking gal exercising on a fancy treadmill that
had been placed on Adix's mid deck.

Needless to say... the "Adix of London" is well traveled..!

Thanks

I like wearing baseball caps when not spending long periods in intense
sun (then, it's my big floppy canvas sailing hat, I always know which
way to put it on because the mildew goes on the right) but the
frequency with which they blow off is maddening. It makes for great
MOB practice and I'm proud to say I've never left one behind. I also
have a fair collection from boats I've designed, Titanic Expeditions,
etc.

My constant running and boat maneuvering to retrieve wayward caps has
given me a bit of a complex. I can't recall ever in my life seeing
someone else lose theirs. I've suspected for years that there might be
something strange about the shape of my head and I suddenly realized
that this photo from my recent cruise confirms it.

What do you think? Do I need to retire my collection of caps? Was
there never any hope of my being a professional ball player, aside from
not being able to hit, catch, or run?

If your hats blow off, please let me know, I'll feel much better.

I lose mine, even when I go through the trouble of threading my pony
tail through the hole in the back, tightening the cap and even putting
a hood over it! The hood falls off, the cap blows away and my husband
(with his baseball cap securely on his head) laughs at me and tells me
we can't go back and we'd never catch it anyway. I've decided that
there's probably two kinds of people: those like my husband whose cap
wouldn't DARE blow off, and those like me whole cap will blow off no
matter what lengths I go to to secure it!

You sure sail in some rough weather. Perhaps a call to the NY Yankees for
advice would be in order?

From a chatter company owner - do not wash your hair. The natural
oils keep the hat on.

I use a retaining strap :
