yeah
aside from the past few years I've been sailing all my life. my dad is a compulsive boat buyer. I think he's had about 15 different ones in my lifetime.

awesome.
I was looking at sailing lessons but they're well expensive and then I thought hang on, Dad's a master mariner. BELM

lessons are probably conducted by awful cunts as well
better to learn from family or friends.

that's what I thought
I'd be ever so nervous if I was being yelled at by some guy, whereas my dad would be much kinder if I made mistakes. Although he gets annoyed when I worry about breaking my nails. If I was actually going to get a boat I think I'd have to have them removed first, sadface.

my main piece of advice to you would be to turn back long before you get bored
because you then have to go through the sailing back part, the mooring up part, the tidying away, and then if you are unlucky, the rowing to shore part.
