Blow the Guy

Teaching my 27 year old daughter Melissa to sail, and today for father's day we got the opportunity to fly the symmetric spinnaker.   We had great time flying the chute in very light winds.

I was explaining the spinnaker sheets and guys, pole uphaul and downhaul. 
Girls have sheets and guys have a pole.

Coming near the harbour, it was time to douse the spinnaker, so I explained that I had to "blow the guy" to take the spinnaker down.

She laughed and said "as long as it is not in the cockpit".

FUNNY
