A sailing ship is no democracy; you don't caucus a crew as to where you'll go anymore than you inquire when they'd like to shorten sail.

A century before the concept took hold in America, pirate ships were democracies. Most captains were elected by crew and could be voted out anytime.
It is not the ship so much as the skillful sailing that assures the prosperous voyage.
I love sailing but hate cruise ships.
What do you want to be a sailor for? There are greater storms in politics than you will ever find at sea. Piracy, broadsides, blood on the decks. You will find them all in politics.
I was never part of the sailing circle, but I enjoy when I'm invited to sail.
I like to sail. My son Caden and I are avid sailors.
