OK folks, I went to run up my Westerbeke 13 that had been in storage.

it just has nothing to do do with the direction you wish to go in

Much like the type of sailing/gunkholing on the Pamlico Sound area. Great way to endure the on-the-hard time.

What happens when you cross the equator into the southern hemisphere?
