Re: What's the Worst Piece of Advice You've Ever Received ?
I couldn't.
I was on my hands and knees at the desk just outside the elevator. Pushing.
I delivered about 12 minutes later...

"You must have a windlass for traveling the ICW." Spent over 900 usd for a Lewmar electric winch and hundreds for wire etc. Sold it after using it less than half dozen times. Sheesh!

If that's the worst advice you ever got, what was the best?

Bummer. A real thread-ender.
Off course, folks like that learn mostly by peeing on the electric fence and playing jacks in the street. Yes, I have a teenager  .
Worst advice? "Just bear off in the puffs in a squall." This is generally from people who have never experienced a real blast, ripped a sail, or pitchpoled a boat. Better, reduce canvass. A lot.

We know you are tough.

naw.... no chance to reef... THIS squall blew up with no advanced warning. First signs of the incipient storm were only a coupla hours before... and that sail is not one that can be reefed inna jiffy!
Honest. Really. First babies are NOT supposed to come in 3 hours... a month early...
Like a hurricane in May...
