The temperature is down to 33Deg F. It is not raining.


This is opportunity to reach your inner Scot! Embrace the cold! Ignore the shrinkage! Suffering is a catalyst for growth!




Said he while rearranging his kilt.



It just requires a bit of tightening in the cold.



So longjohns and a kilt for you, then?


A heated jockstrap will do in a pinch.


Stop giving Nik fashion ideas.....he'd actually wear that.

The car ferry was in a hurry and probably didn't have any bow watch (none that I saw).


Captain Ishii would have someone keel hauled for that.

I wonder why he thinks we don't know what fondue is....



Its the French background. I dont care how many generations its been or what he says about Canada......

(Sorry Steve, I just couldnt pass it up )



Not French , Norman ! You know, vikings! I have some self respect (sorry to any French friends out there....especially Gladditt!).


Now you know, by the time they were considered Normans their Viking ways were a distant memory.


Go ahead! Destroy my last chance at self-respect!


So its French, then?

Same theory , just multiple applications. Although the rig is different on a "modern " boat (actually it's more ancient , and primitive . A lanteen rig on a modern sailboat (say a Sunfish) pre-dates bibilical times. The triangular sail in not that much newer) it employs the same sort of manevers. And exactly the same as a windsailer. Turning for example, requires a technique called "boxhauling". The only difference is scale.


But its either virtually impossible or just Thread-damned difficult to do the same thing on several dozen sails simultaneously.


That's why they trained for it.


So what you guys are saying is that without at least the majority of your trimmers being able to find their @ss with 2 hands and a flashlight you cant ever get out of the harbor?

You know, I bet they could have beat the crap out of me for a solid week and I would not have known one bit more about the ropes and things as a result. I think I'm just the Dr. Maturin of the story.

No. In the days of wooden ships and iron men they did it on thousands of ships all over the world every day without a motor.....
