Good news: I've found the cure for anxiety about returning to work

Bad news: The cure is spending silly amounts of money on really cool new cargo pants.

Addendum; good news: I have really cool new cargo pants coming in the mail now.

A Legendary Sail || Cruising World

Even a celebrated sailor like Gary Jobson runs into trouble sometimes. In this case, I was on board, just trying to keep up.

By Herb McCormick

March 20, 2024

Gary Jobson motioned for me to step aboard his pretty, impeccable C.W. Hood 32, Whirlwind. Before anything else happened—and plenty was about to—he offered a thought. 

“I’m a lot different than a lot of professional sailors,” he said, referring to his peers in the America’s Cup and the upper strata of inshore and offshore sailboat racing. “I really like to sail.”

pt. 2 3 4 🧜🏻‍♂️

It was a swelteringly hot day in June, and Mickey was aboard the small sailing vessel Yas Buoy.

He was anchored down to a clear, sunny spot in the waters of Lake Michigan and was far from Belmont Harbor, not a single other boat in sight as far as the eye could see.

He still didn’t know how the fuck to read the marine radar, so he didn’t exactly know where he was or what direction to head in to get back to the docks, but that was a problem he was working on. At least now he was glued to one spot instead of struggling with the sails' complicated pulleys and ropes system.

Sitting on the stern (or was it the cockpit? the fuckin’ poopdeck?) Mickey let his calves dangle in the water while the boat gently bobbed up and down. In his lap sat a yellowed, dog-eared, one-dollar copy of Sailing for Dummies he’d gotten from a used bookstore earlier that week. Slathered in sunscreen and shirtless, Mickey did his best to read it.

Who would have been able to guess he’d end up looking after a fucking boat?

Fresh out of prison and looking for work, he had been a desperate man. Not wanting to go crawling back to his dad to pick up where he’d left off with the coke pushing or find some back-breaking job at a factory, he’d turned instead to the internet.

He’d found the ad on an odd jobs website. Some rich North Side fuck had been looking for someone to clean and maintain his daysailer a few days a week after it’d been sitting in storage all winter.

Now, Mickey knew fuck all about boats. Absolutely fuck all. But he’d thought, how hard could it be? After a few video tutorials on YouTube and a call to Iggy to help forge a boating license, he knew exactly how to do the basics.

So, he’d bullshitted his way through an interview—one he’d probably only gotten because the flamboyant old fag who owned the boat was practically drooling over his sleeves of arm tats and barrel chest from months of working out in the clink.

And now here he was. Out in the open. Water everywhere. People… no fuckin’ where.

It was peaceful. Real peaceful. Especially after sharing that cell with Rodriguez, who never fucking shut up. It had been Mickey’s longest stint yet. Two years.

Mickey quickly grabbed onto the boat when it dipped hard, cursing. Maybe he should’ve checked to make sure there were life jackets in the cabin.

Besides not knowing anything about boats, he knew even fucking less about swimming.

i'm reading Seamanship in the Age of Sail and i keep having to remind myself that though all these extra steps to set and furl and reef and rig and additional temporary tackles and flying sails and yards seem incredibly inconvenient and tedious...the sailors implementing these (to my modern mind) superfluous additions to the rig WOULD BE AT SEA!! SOMETIMES ON THE SAME TACK FOR WEEKS!! you'd have to do everything you could to optimize your sail plan and stability!!! it seems unnecessary to me because i primarily work on daysailers and by golly if i had to tack a running backstay outrigger every time we wore ship or take down the course yard every night i'd lose my goddamn mind!!
