People always around sail boats amaze me sometimes. Remember well one time aboard a friend's boat in the Caribbean. We pulled up to the water dock, I tossed a line to the kid working there. Stan started to instruct the kid on how to cleat...kid gave Stan a disgusted look, and still standing, cleated it one handed and perfectly.
