LOL... I think I'm pretty good about not being an iron-fisted Captain Bligh, but I do sometimes have to catch myself.

Fine as a joke, but in reality, I'd have asked her to hold course at the helm, then gone on deck myself.

Occasionally I accuse my wife Tina of being a "Boat Nazi!" Especially when she's at the helm.

Randy Et al...does anyone know where I can get a hard copy of this one? What paper and when did it publish? I see a good Xmas or Birthday gift here in getting this framed for the admiral.
