I said this to my husband and he said "that was a motor boat, this is a sail boat, completely different".  I'm like - Ok, Captain Ahab, calm down before you harpoon the couch.

As someone used to sail, ITA with your husband. Sailing is nothing like driving a motor boat. I love sailing and miss the hell out of it. There is nothing like cutting through the water on a perfect day with the wind behind your back, but it is insanely dangerous even for experienced sailors. Getting hit by the boom like Julian did, happens all the time, especially with inexperienced sailors. To sail across the Atlantic with little experience without a GPS, weather reports, etc. is basically "dead man walking."
