Sailing a Rhumb Line Towards Marital discord

This exchange will do it on a day like this:

”Dear, what does that yellow fllag with a black ball at the Coast Guard dock mean?”

Response, “That means it’s a good day to go sailing, honey!”

Don't make this mistake, or you may pay for it.

It’s wild out there today. We won’t be trying it.

Actually, the black ball flag is more a beach signal and is flown by our Harbor Patrol, not by the Coasties. Still, it’s a fine signal that, “it’s rough out there!”
