Larry -- I'll go head to head with most men any day of the week, Larry. My boat is sized for what I can handle. Nevertheless, your gendertyping doesn't take into account that there are plenty of women who are bigger than some men. Or even the average man, for that matter. And some day, we shall rule the Earth. What do you mean "someday'? I have been doing as I have been told by my owner for thirty years, but then I come from a country where the current and last Prime Ministers are women - New Zealand. Besides, how many men could stand at the wheel for over 20 hours without once leaving it in heavy weather when the new autopilot stopped working? My owner has. Another thing. Many cruising couples reveal that when it is time to go to the top of the mast, it is the woman who does so. I am expert at calling out instructions from below. Besides, I know where the tools she needs are. When the prop is fouled by a net, a line or a plastic bag (woven plastic rice bags are the worst), then the owner is urged over the side - my reasoning - woman have more subcutaneous fat than men and do not so readily sucumb to the cold. Besides, everyone knows that sharks do not attack women as readily - something about their smell. Lastly, women can be yelled at and sworn at during docking or anchoring - quite common in my experience. If you treated a male friend like that you would be sailing alone or lying prone often. cheers Peter Hendra Ha! :-) |
