Blu, you made me laugh and I agree that LP’s nautical knowledge is pretty impressive, and we appreciate that he passes it along to us. I was a rank tiny boat sailorette as a teenager and no longer remember the terminology beyond port and starboard and “duck”.
Just one minor point of contention. There are few hot guys with red hair. Apologies to all gingermen present and offended. It’s just a taste thing. You’re very hot to many women.
BTW, all Dads see EVERYTHING; and you don’t know cold cold is until you’ve been in Superior. I grew up in Nova Scotia and we thought the ocean was warm when it was 63°. Lake Superior never came close to the warmth of the summer Atlantic bays. Yiyiyi!
