Do you often sail with your better half who has absolutely no knowledge of what to do if you fell overboard? Does your spouse feel you’re not patient enough to teach her without yelling (even a little)? Joy can give private lessons to your spouse with or without you aboard. Sometimes it’s easier to listen to instruction from someone else.
