Getting it right...

I notice that these days (god I hate it when I start a sentence with a Dad phrase) a lot of folks just don't seem willing to do the work needful to getting stuff right.

You see it a lot on the sailing world... Lots of people cruising who have not taken the time to learn how to sail past a very basic level. You know, those folk who can't maneuver under sail or quite twigged yet on the whole sailing to windward thing...

"But if I turn on my engine, I can go to windward finest kind!"

Practice does make you better... So does having an open mind and admitting that you are not perfect and WE ALL have the ability to continue growing and learning...

Case in point... Our friend Kerry on the charter yacht Promenade is an avid underwater photographer and she just keeps getting better. She is not getting better because she "knows it all" but by shooting thousands of pictures and learning from her mistakes. Kerry is the first to admit she can learn more which is what makes her so much better than all those folks who "Know it all"!

Fact is Kerry is getting so good she'd be a great teacher and we keep telling her she should do some special UW Photography charters... But alas, Promenade is one of the most popular boats in the fleet and as a result does not have many openings for such an enterprise.
