Captain to crew – “Maybe next time you’ll get the spinnaker set right the first try!”
I told you to watch the tide and forget the water balloons.
Are you sure this is how it’s done?
If you didn’t listen to my call to tack, why am I the one out on this boom?
SHARK! On our starboard side
“Oh, did I forget to say ‘jibe ho’?”
I said boom brake… not boom break you guys. Come down from there… you look silly.

Are we off the reef yet?
Please keep in on a broad reach. No running.

The outhaul’s gotta be there somewhere
Accidental jibe! Not again, Skipper. We’re holding er down now!
Ok…four sheets to the wind…lay off the Chablis guys!
Keep looking, that missing outhaul line is there somewhere.
great minds think alike, see abov
Stand by to gybe/launch.
That dog watch crew can sleep anywhere.

(The Skipper yelling) : ” WTFudge !….You guys are freaks !…..I said PUMP the boom ! ….. (mumbling)Sicko’s !”
Is this how you get a Boom Crotch ?
“Didn’t I tell you to scrape off those barnacles.”
