Rather remarkably detailed.

How is it that the boat is going downwind and the masthead flag is streaming aft?

You have a keen eye.

Localized wind shear.

He was about to be become a commissioned officer and tats would be frowned upon in the Officers Mess. He went though some painful laser surgery to try and remove them, but it wasn't completely successful.

I don't have any tats, but do think they look tacky.

You would need two paper bags to sleep with babes like this, known as double baggers. One for her and one for you, incase hers fell off

Maybe closing in on triple-bagger status, i.e. hang one outside the window in case a peeping Tom comes by.
Could even be getting into coyoye-date territory.

I started getting ink when I was in my mid-fifties. I currently have eight pieces and every single one of them has meaning to me, whether it was a tribute to my late father or related to my work or a subject I am passionate about. They all say something about me.
