    Absolutely agree, kind of like the vertical movement though :)

    This one's a classic! Three cheers for the Pacific Islanders of 2000 years ago (long before there were ever monohulls!) ;)

    Multihulls follow the wave face , offshore IF the wave goes vertical , so does the cat. OOOPS!

    Poking "fun" while on the overhead may be exciting , for a while , till the cold water gets over the functioning parts.

    reminds me of the 80's when there were lots of bumpers stickers that said things like

    Electricians do it without shorts
    Ministers do it divinely
    Sailors do it with waves (for those of you too young, women in the navy used to be called Waves)
    Arabs do it in tents

    and so on
