I heard of a boat named "Ruthless". The guy's wife's name was Ruth.
Then there was the famous race boat, "FUJIMO". IIRC it stands for "F*#$k you Judy I'm moving on."

Racing did not help, she clammed-up even worse for fear that she'd screw something up. Even if on that particular race, everything that could be screwed-up was already taken care of so no one really cared. No amount of screwing-up was going to make our last place any worse. :-) Giving her the helm.. Been there done that, same result. Talking to other wifes.. It depends, At the club parties it runs the gammut from enthusiastic sailor ladies to killjoys that never come out sailing, just show up for parties.. When she runs into the lather all they say is too hot, too cold, too windy, too sunny, too humid, etc, etc. then I'm loosing ground. I'm banking on the lessons.. Truth to be told, if you're that much not into the boating thing, just sitting around on a boat is not much more fun than sitting around anywhere else.. Especially given the fact that on the lake, when it's (Really) windy, it's usually not very sunny, often a bit coldish, so you have to look at the big picture to appreciate what's going on. On the plus she's fairly athletic so maybe once she told what's what by someone else and understands better what's going on she'll get into the workout / physical side of it and get a little rush that way... I guess that's typical boat stuff: one more thing to figure out... -Francois 1990 34+ "Take Five" Lake Lanier, Georgia.
