Hey Guys and Gals: I am curious as to how everyone would finish this sentence . . You know you're a real sailor when . . .. I'll start off by saying "when you wear your bathing suit under your clothes because you're going to your boat after you get off work ." Anyone else care to finish the sentence???? Happy fourth of July and God Bless America!!! Melody

You know you are a "real sailor" when you know you never truly ARE a "real sailor". We never know it all and always have something to learn. Humilty and respect for sailing and the sea will keep a sailor learning and alive and well. The best sailors I have ever met never considered themselves "there" in experience or ability and they say they learn something new ever time they sail or are around other sailors.

You know you're a real sailor when you get more upset over a broken lamp chimney than a broken nail. Fun thread, Melody! LaDonna

I can't just finish the sentence, however, my wife and I were bringing a new boat back to our slip and I made the turn too fast and hit the dock with the bow. As the bow slid up on the dock, my wife who was standing on the bow for our docking, looked at me and said, "what are you doing?" I said, "I'm hitting the dock." She looked down at the bow as it slid off the dock and said, "So it appears." I knew then we were a good sailing team.

Hmmm.....
I don't know if I'm a REAL sailor or not, but you know you're a real pain in the butt when you tell people it's YOU'RE and not YOUR, as in you are, not your. It's your boat, but you're the sailor....Hey, it's late and I'm punchy...

When. . . .
the first web-site you access at work is the weather buoy to see what you missed the day before(link below). But so far my favorite is "..registering for the wedding at West Marine..".

On the same vain as Chris' response. When "dressed up" means you wear socks and a clean t-shirt (long pants optional).
