How timely!
Yesterday afternoon, as I was leaving our boat, I watched another member of
this list practice just such a technique.
While trying to board his dinghy, from the dock, it started to rock and
roll. Luckily I didn't say "Hi George" or the distraction would have been
enough to cause him to go for a swim.
The imagination went into over-drive with the image of a very wet,
sputtering George, but the possibility of his injuries overrode the
temptation to distract him. His pride stayed intact.
Maggie.
