Some needful situational awareness, five stupid rules, and a forward looking cruising destination...
There's a YouTube channel I watch from time to time to answer whatever clickbait they present that tickles my sense of absurdity. Most recently was an episode that entailed an engineless cruise on St Thomas that was presented as a major feat of seamanship. Which, I suppose, for some a less than two mile voyage without an engine is an incredible accomplishment or an inspired bit of self parody.
Well except for the fact that they actually did have an engine in the form of a 15HP outboard on their dinghy and they did resort to using it so it would seem there was no self parody involved.
Way back when there was a wonderful picture on a Class-5 catalog of a guy climbing that grabbed a lot of attention. At first glance it's a great climbing shot but the second glance let's you see the punch line.
Sadly, the purveyors of the current output really seem take themselves way too seriously and there's not a punchline in sight.

So it goes...
