Funny "squall" story - we (two couples) and a Bermuda-based captain hitching a
ride to one of the other islands were sailing in the Abacos, out on the Atlantic
side, with myself and the captain being the only ones out of the five with any
real blue water experience. *As you may know, _fresh_ water on a sailboat in
that area is expensive water, so while the three novices were below, busying
themselves with being, um, less-than-not-green, the hitching skipper and I were
up on the deck in nothing but harnesses showering in the free fresh water (if
you do much blue water sailing/boating, you probably know that a Joy-less
washoff is always welcome...). *We finally got my novice buddy up to the wheel,
but his girlfriend, along with mine, stayed below, groaning and making comments
about how we were out of our ****ing minds...

I really have no idea what you're talking about, but it sounds like a
Cap'n Stabbin' adventure that I *don't* want to see.

I really have no idea what you're talking about.

Huh?

In other words, my mental picture had developed quite far enough when
it was just you and the skipper naked in the harnesses above decks,
with the girls groaning below. A friendly joke, man.
