Make her as comfortable as possible. Have a bottle of wine on board. A boc of chocolates, a good book. Ig things get dicey, don't get mad. Just clear the decks and do what has to be done. And get your engine fixed so it never happens again. DON'T not take her sailing when she asks. Take fer, grit your teeth, and think of the benefits that might come from being pleasant for the day. Oh sure I'd bet You'd like that, being treated like royalty I suppose is what You expect from men just because You're a female. With that type of attitude the captain ought to throw your ass overboard. You ever hear the word teamwork? Just like a marriage sailing is a team thing but I doubt You comprehend that. For what it's worth, I have this exact relationship with my husband -- he doesn't care to learn a thing about sailing, doesn't particularly like it, and wouldn't mind at all if I sold Escapade. Then again, he does, from time to time, enjoy a day out on the water. So when we go sailing I treat it as if I'm single-handing. I try to lure him into the cockpit if it's nice out and there's something "interesting to see" (what -- just the water isn't enough!?) but otherwise leave him to nap below or whatever he wants to do. Granted, it's more fun when I have my sister and family aboard, because they absolutely LOVE sailing, and want to learn about it. But you know what they say: "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't teach him to gybe." |
