We all like telling sea/war stories but that doesn't mean they're true.
Someone once told me the way to choose which yact to crew on an ocean passage is to ask the crew how the last crossing was. The one that says 'boring' is the one to go with. At sea boring is good.
The woman I felt sorry for was at a recent class meet. She didn't like sailing but had agreed to go. Her husband, who I met at the pub, had left her on a yacht with a blocked heads, on a mooring, in the rain, because she was scared to get in the rubber duck.
The next day we made fast to a pontoon in the rain and two hours later she was reading a book under the sprayhood wearing a brave face, full oilskins and a lifejacket. Don't reckon she'll be going again.
