sailing


for the nautical buffs, what is so exciting about sailing? i mean your sitting there the boat is moving all around from the waves, your stomach is doing back flips. in their case martin is "tightening down the jib" while the doctor is holding the wheel. what is so fun about that. now compare this movie with "Summer Rental". The sailboats had a crew to control the cranks and jib and whatever needs control. I don't get it.

I NEVER understood what was fun at all about sailing. It looks like work!

And as a passenger in a sailboat, what tends to happen at best is you sit there.
At worst, the boat tips alarmingly & that is NO fun.

A speedboat now that's fun!


I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush.

It boils down to this: A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

Does anyone agree about how clumsily the sailing scene was made? It was so clearly NOT a real sea and the storm was so lame and tame. Not even Chloe would have gone overboard in that one.

The storm was likely manufactured, but what made you think it was a fake sea?
It looked real enough to me.
