You should practice your bowline tying techniques while you're away for work, then whip them out next summer. You'll knock Catherine's possibly non-existent socks off!

The Germans have a saying “There are two things that don’t belong on a Sailboat: dogs and Naval Officers” . Great story!

Remember, Admiral Morgan was a terror to the Spanish.... and his own men, once they realized what he being in charge of Navigation meant.
