At sea, trust a woman's intuition

I once asked my coach, when did you decide to hoist the sails, the coach replied: When your woman tells you to hoist the sails,

The strong wind can make the sailboat run up to 20 knots, and the risk is accompanied by it, and the intuition of a woman can make the boat and the sea in balance,

So we call each boat her/her.

There are too few sailing players, and there are fewer sailing disaster films. A few years ago, there was also a "Everything Lost" that was watched as a teaching film.

The film comes from a famous accident, in 1983, Tami and his fiancé drove a 44-foot Trident from Tahiti to California.

It is said that in those days, the boat with a million knives, as a keel galleon, generally would not overturn, even if it hit a 40-foot dog head wave,

In principle, in such a storm, the sails should be closed, and people should hide. The big problem is that the mast will be broken.

Most sailing accidents are caused by falling into the water, such as Guo Chuan, the single-person ocean-crossing captain who disappeared in Hawaii waters the year before.

So we have to practice MOB (man overboard) often. We can still be a balloon when the water is cold, and we can still practice with real people when the weather is good.

Compared with "Everything Is Lost", the heroine's performance is much more professional, at least she doesn't need to read the manual to learn sextant.

If you haven't been frightened by the fear of the storm after watching the movie, then the sea welcomes you,

In reality, the heroine could barely read and write for the first few years after the accident due to head trauma and PTSD.

After moving on for 10 years, he picked up a pen and wrote the original book of the film, then returned to the sea and worked as a licensed captain for a period of time.
