Re: Great Lakes, Nautical Terms: "big sea" and others.
You wouldn’t say 9 knots an hour since a knot = nautical mile per hour.
Actually both Cook and Anson wrote “knots an hour” but that was in the 18th century so it doesn’t count.

Re: YouTube Sailors - Overly Romanticized Or Just Lacking Details?
I like the Youtubers and don’t mind them asking for money. After all, Slocum had a book deal when he set out, and charged people in Sydney to come on board.

Re: getting the outboard on the dinghy
How we do this, is the outboard lives on a mount on the pushpit rail. We take the dinghy to a set point midships (with someone inside). We use the main halyard cleated at a marked point. We then...

Re: Anyone in Sydney Australia with a Catamaran
I wouldn’t take her on a race in Sydney Harbour (even a twilight) for her first sail. Too much risk of yelling or argy-bargy which would put her right off.

Re: What to do for college...
Hello, I’m new - I’ll post an intro later.
One thing you should do is start a logbook, record your hours/miles/duties and get the skippers sign-off. It will come in handy whatever you do.
