they fall overboard in the night while taking a leak - they are found with their male member outside the "play" area, to speak.

Pray tell. Where did you come across this valuable piece of information? LOL.

That's why I love this place. You learn something new everyday. Not necessarily useful type stuff, but stuff, none the less.

I am struggling attempting to figure out how I can work this new knowledge into a conversation.

From my many sailing magazines. Mainly Ocean Navigator, which has excellent follow-ups to sailing accidents. It is in my opinion, one of the most informative sailing mags out there.

We get all the Coast Guard stuff - they have a brother mag, Professional Mariner, which I took for a year for some reason - it is all about commercial boating, but they did an excellent article on all the tugs and ferrys that went to Ground Zero on September 11th to move people off, then to move equipment and supplies into the area.

We learn all about the barges that hit bridges, sailing boats that get run down on the ocean by the great big container ships (most of which who have foreign crews who don't speak english and DON'T stop when they run down a boat - many don't even know they've hit something - mainly because they aren't watching their radar closely).

Of course we learn navigation and sailing tips and the usual stuff you find in sailing mags.
