Things I learned working on boats
My first summer as a deckhand on a Coast Guard boat the Bosun's mate said to me:

"If it's not moving, paint it. If it's moving, paint it till it stops moving".

"Its the motion of the ocean..."

"Pee, puke, and toss it to leeward, never to windward"

"Sailors sit while at sea" (do not piss in the head while standing up)
