There comes a time when a relationship will not respond to the helm and if there’s not enough freeboard between the deck and the waterline it’s a long drop to the sea. Winds blow and no matter how true the course the ship heads for a dead reckoning beyond the blue horizon. Narrow straits can be tough to navigate and if there’s not a give and take a collision is bound to sink what might have been a blissful voyage.
My favorite sailing weather! Love it when that water comes over the freeboard and then your boat pops out and righten only to catch the wind again, and the next wave! Exhilarating!
