Perhaps the cat was not trying to tie you up
securely. She might have been just playing with you. :)

terrible being out smarted by a cat. Once
under way, he likes to sit on cushion layed over
clutches, makes it tough to adjust the main, all
the while giving me the finger, (mentally), for
making him go sailing. When arriving back at
slip first one off is supposed to take a line.
Yeah he doesn't do that either.Â

Before the Great Refit, often when my wife and I
went out for an afternoon sail it went like this:
Me: âHoney, could you just take in on the mainsheet a bit?â
Wife, putting down her knitting and cranking: âIs that enough?â
âYes. Thanksâ
Wife goes back to knitting.
âHoney, could ease the traveler down a bit?â
Wife: âOkay
Is that enough?â
>
Me: âYes. Thanks.â
Me in a few seconds: âCould you bring the
traveler up a bit?â (after cranking in on the jibâ
Wife: âYour racing again, arenât you?â
Me: âWell, thereâs a boat on the horizon and
I think heâs pointing higher than us.â
Wife: âReally
?â
Me: âJust pull it up a little bit, okay?â
Wife goes back to knitting
AKA: Competition Cruisinng.

This is why I often sail singlehanded. Wife,
son, and dog got tired of my general yahoo
approach to sailing even on a cruise.

My crew:
Spouse: Hanging on tightly convinced we're going to capsize when we heel.
Daughter: Total lack of situational awareness,
particularly noticeable when on the foredeck,
we're coming about and the jib and lines proceed to mummify her.
Son: Panic-frozen in place, terrified of the
body-hugging apparatus called a PFD.
Me: Having too much fun to really quite grasp that no one else is.
