I don't want to argue the point to hard. As bumper sticker philosophy
I like your saying. I'm just pointing out that it is more of a
guideline than a hard and fast truism...

I would simply add the caveat of "any boating trip where you tie the boat
to the dock and walk away". (or mooring as the case may be.)

How about: "in retrospect: the worst day sailing is..." But then the
temptation is to finish with "worth two beers at the bar."

I think that if rbc were to produce a bumper sticker it would have a
catchy and amusing saying in bold letters and then a long scroll
dragging behind it with numbered paragraphs of definitions and
exclusions ("iii. excepting when taken with the mother in law; except
where the mother in law has good relations with the bettered party and
the spouse of the bettered party and with both when in company...")
and maybe a rant or two from the resident jesters ("cccxi. these ####
morons know nothing of sailing; a good day sailing is for grilymen;
all sailing should be done by men alone in small open boats at
latitudes greater than 50 in the winter against the prevailing
winds...") and perhaps a massive musical missive from Skip -- here
excluded because I can't type or think nearly quickly enough to
compose one and get anything else done in a day.

Strangely, I find all that fun and more than a little addictive. I
hope I'll get the chance to check in from time to time. But just in
case I don't: Thanks! I've enjoyed hanging out with all of you.

QRT for now,

A bumper sticker is doable, as long as the font is small enough. The last
line can read, "If you can read this, _______."
