It is so nice being a boat newbie and making all the rookie mistakes on how the terminology on boats all is. Because really if you first hear about all of the boating names of everything around sailign (especially in Dutch) it sounds more like someone had a stroke and is not able to produce decent words, than that these are actually words. And especially these old Dutchie sailors, they are really picky about it.
So when I first was talking about the ropes that you use to pull up the sails, or where you knot up your boat to the shore...I use the words like ropes, or strings or whatever. But these guys are called lines and it is essentia to call them that. Now I agree, it is really usefull when everyone uses the same terminology for everything, but when I call it a rope ...you get the idea right?
Apart from getting the naming all right, I do actually have my OCD have it right when all of these lines are nicely binded up and easily ready to use. Having them ready to rumble over the rail. Or in the other spots where you have different lines for different use cases where they are colour coded and you hang them all in this perfect circle. Yeah...that is comfortable to the brain.
Now I also do love me a good view in some decent weather like it was in the pre season in Greece. The ultimate combo is always land with mountains in the back, so for me this is an easy choice. Some boats, some water, some lands....and some lines nicely tied up.
And everything was in balance again, exactly how it all needs to be
