A couple of classics
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.

when sailor sailor is talking to his boat builder the words he dreads hearing "i have a small job could you just "
Skipper "ease the headsail sheet"
Non sailing guest "what?"
Skipper "ease the headsail sheet"
Non sailing guest "what's a headsail sheet"
Skipper "that rope there, ease it"
Non sailing guest "what do you mean by ease it."
Skipper "never mind, can you go below and get a beer?"
I think we're gaining on them .....
I think they're catching us...
Whats that old sighting theory where we can tell if we're on a collision course...
Are you sure thats the right mark ....
One more and its cause ... sailing Lake Macquarie in 20kts, full sail, reaching fast 7 - 8kts, Mottle 33, great. Skipper and first mate enjoying beer while gf steers.
gf "is the depth down there (Referring to depth display in cabin visible from helm) in metres or feet"
skipper "feet"
gf "so 6 is 6 ft ?"
skipper "what...!!!?? "
boat "bang", lurches sideways and stops.

Skipper uses language only seaman use!

Take a long walk on a short pier
Love it HG
I'm a teacher, this would be great to use with my students (even better if I taught at a coastal suburb)…my kids would probably not know what a pier was!
