Aye lad, I made a mis speak before..what I meant to say was the water froze so quick that the ICE was still warm.Now, thats cold I'll be bound.

One of the first things you need to learn is that a sheet is not a sail..it is a line, they are used to trim the sails. A halyard is a line that is used to raise and lower the sails. There are only 2 ropes on a sailing vessel... the tiller rope, and, the bell rope. All the rest have other names. Oh, and one more thing lad, never whistle.. that is the exclusive right of the Captain and the Bos'ns Mate. Now, into the futtock shrouds we ye, and SEE IF YOU SEE ANY LAND!! sorry, couldnt resist.
