  5. Just watch where you put your hands, Doc.

    One false move with a winch and you'll be sorry.

  6. What the hell is she winching? looking at the line, the answer is nothing. useless crew member. And where is her helmet? or should I say, helmets?

  7. Pandabonium - the line is running to a foot block, most likely she is supposed to be winching a jib sheet.

  8. How do you know she isn't correcting the overlap? She's thrown the guilty party overboard and is correcting the situation. Just look at that situation!

  9. Um, where is the line even going? Is she snugging up the aft anchor? Bringing in the dinghy she is towing? Wouldn't it be better if she was watching the line she had on the winch?

  10. I love this type of crew!
    In Greece we have many chartered bareboats crewed only by women!
