I am with Spaw on this. Why the hell is he rowing a sailboat? Obviously, Michael is drunk. Sister is trying to salvage the trip. And once again again some drunken sot is screwing up the life of a perfectly capable woman who if she had any sense would have made the trip alone.

I am in sore need of a definition of the "feminist perspective". I spent years working my butt off to prove that a woman could function and excel in a "man's"job. I fought for equal pay for equal work and got it. I demanded that a woman who chose to work in the home receive the same respect as men and women who chose to work outside the home. And through it all I maintained my femininity. Now I find that I was misled and the crux of the feminist movement revolves around not being allowed to row. For the record, my brothers made me row and fling chum besides. I prefer sail trimming.
