Funny Sailing
Definitions
|
Sailing - The fine art of
getting wet and becoming ill,
while going nowhere slowly at
great expense (equivalent to
standing in a cold shower,
fully clothed, throwing up, and
tearing up $100 bills, while a
bunch of other people watch
you).
Boom - Called boom for the
sound that's made when it hits
crew in the head on its way
across the boat. For slow
crew, it's called `boom, boom.'
Calm - Sea condition
characterized by the
simultaneous disappearance
of the wind and the last cold
beverage.
Crew - Heavy, stationary
objects used on shipboard to
hold down charts, anchor
cushions in place and dampen
sudden movements of the
boom.
Flashlight - Tubular metal
container used on shipboard
for storing dead batteries prior
to their disposal.
Bow - A gesture from the
helmsman as he crosses the
finish line first.
Clew - An indication from the
skipper as to what he might do
next.
Swell - A wave that's just
great.
Life preserver - A mildewed
device for emergency use,
stowed under the
extra lines and anchors.
