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.

Musto caps don't blow off! The secret is in the strong crocodile clip and
leather lanyard. You just buy the wrong caps Roger.

stuff the overpriced musto rubbish, keep your big floppy canvas hat but
use some string to tie it around your chin (surely there must be some
string on your yacht?)/

Or maybe a hockey skate 'lace'. A string would probably cut into your chin.

Couldn't you just tie the string (or lace or bungee or whatever) to
the hat and the pin the other end to the back of your jacket or shirt?
That way the string wouldn't be around your neck, and you wouldn't
have to decide which chin to put it under.

I have so many things around my neck already - cameras (at least one
and sometimes two), and binoculars, and sometimes a separate detached
hood if it is cold that when a hat blows off, I get strangled.
