One of my spring projects is too write up safety bulletins. I do
this on my computer, print on heavy paper and then enclose in plastic.

I post these for myself as well as crew.

I was going to write:

What crew? I doubt that the inflatable Paris Hilton will be able to make
any better use of these items than the real one.

But then I realized:

Hey, this is actually a mature and useful post, unlike so much of what has
preceeded it. I should really encourage this.

Cruising under sail is one of those things in which attitude and judgement
are more likely to get you through a situation that is beyond your skill
than skill is likely to make up for a deficiency in the former.

I'm glad to see some good attitude developing. Keep it up and maybe you'll
have a crew.
