Safe to sail

Article Abstract:

A slight hint of risk is an essential ingredient of the sailing experience, with high seas, strong winds, rocks, floating containers and other boats in the ocean make sailing a risky but adventurous proposition. With experience, ability to cope with dangerous situations is developed but since accidents can neither be anticipated nor prevented, every boat should carry the appropriate safety gear and its crew should know how and when to use it.

Gastro-navigation

Article Abstract:

Articles about boat cuisine are unnecessary because cooking aboard should be simple, with little preparation and cleanup. Hungry sailors will eat anything, even the provisions they would not normally feed to the dog onshore.

That wasn't so bad...

Article Abstract:

Sailors have selective memories. Sailors tend to remember only the good experiences associated with sailing and tend to store negative impressions deep in the recesses of the brain.
