Being a live aboard, my crew (aka cat Dinghy) gets locked in the brig
(v-berth), he can tell when I am thinking of leaving the dock. It's terrible
being out smarted by a cat. Once under way, he likes to sit on cushion layed
over clutches, makes it tough to adjust the main, all the while giving me the
finger, (mentally), for making him go sailing. When arriving back at slip first
one off is supposed to take a line. Yeah he doesn't do that either.

duties during a raceBefore the Great Refit, often when my wife and I went out
for an afternoon sail it went like this:
Me: “Honey, could you just take in on the mainsheet a bit?”
Wife, putting down her knitting and cranking: “Is that enough?”
“Yes. Thanks”
Wife goes back to knitting.
“Honey, could ease the traveler down a bit?”
Wife: “Okay… Is that enough?”
Me: “Yes. Thanks.”
Me in a few seconds: “Could you bring the traveler up a bit?” (after cranking
in on the jib”
Wife: “Your racing again, aren’t you?”
Me: “Well, there’s a boat on the horizon and I think he’s pointing higher than
us.”
Wife: “Really…?”
Me: “Just pull it up a little bit, okay?”
Wife goes back to knitting…
AKA: Competition Cruising.

This is why I often sail singlehanded. Wife, son, and dog got tired of my
general yahoo approach to sailing even on a cruise.

My crew:
Spouse: Hanging on tightly convinced we're going to capsize when we heel.
Daughter: Total lack of situational awareness, particularly noticeable when on
the foredeck, we're coming about and the jib and lines proceed to mummify her.
Son: Panic-frozen in place, terrified of the body-hugging apparatus called a
PFD.
Me: Having too much fun to really quite grasp that no one else is.
