oh. em. gee.
Nothing frustrates me more, apparently then when a coworker fronts a knowledge and experience (ie "I'm the captain, and I've captained many ships in real life") when he wouldn't know a port tack from a starboard, much less captain a boat (he's um, color-blind, for one).
And then says this on television, not just in front of children and myself.
On the other hand, a recent evaluation from a parent included the line: "her sailing knowledge was not believable." This coming from the same group I explained lateral resistance, a little sail theory, and the importance of a deep keel to. HAHA. I love adults.
