" We didn't hoist the kite, but our partner boat did. They pitchpoled, righted, and kept sailing."

So using your own earlier logic, you know, back when you said I had little balls, you should have also hoisted your own kite and crashed too, you would have learned so much more, right? Especially if that crash had led to a broken mast and a tow back to the beach.

And just think of all the 'new confidence' your wife would now have in your driving abilities after that!

Thanks for making my point.
