Short little article on the topic of sailing terminology that I just found, and, found entertaining. Thought I'd share it since you might enjoy it too ....

Never mind the vocabulary ... I'm still amused that lubbers often can't figure out where the wind is coming from ... I don't mean naming north/south/east/west (impossible usually) ... I just mean "from here ... or ... from there" !
