5 Rules for Cruising Sailors (Mono' & Multi'):
1. Try to sail on the top of the water. Do not go near the edges nor bottom of it (these dangerous areas can be recognized by the appearance of ground, buildings, trees, and the like), as it can be much more difficult to sail comfortably there.
2. When one of two bilge pumps fail, the other can always keep you afloat 'till you reach the wreck-site.
3. Never sail with someone braver than yourself.
4. It's always better to be ashore, wishing you were out there; than out there, wishing you were ashore.
5. In the ongoing battle between floating fibreglass objects going six knots, and the ground going zero kts - the ground has never lost.
