  The day I learned to treat money like an employee instead of a currency, was the day I suddenly had a boat load more money.

  Easiest way to make the proverbial boatload of money while living on a boat is to start with a bigger boatload of money and send yourself a check from that account twice a month😂

  I hereby vote this as the best video of 2023 for Lady K Sailing!  Loved the intro and all of the vocabulary.   You always provide great content, but I really enjoyed this one.  Keep up the good work.  My wife and I look to make our way into part time as liveaboards during the winter and cabin life in the summer.  In the next 18 months or so as long as we can get the plans to align.

  My dad&apos;s uncle wrote &apos;All Hands Aloft&apos;(Lou Schmitt) &nbsp;A story about his time as a cadet in the last days of sail. &nbsp;Most, if not all all the terms you described were in his book. &nbsp;I once had a box full of the book that were unsold and went down to the Marina restaurant at the end of the dock and put free on them. &nbsp;Didn&apos;t take long for them to be grabbed up by the local sailors. &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;For perspective, it has only been about 100-years since the last days of commercial sail.

  “Hold Fast” meaning stand your ground. “ No Quarter” meaning take no prisoners. &nbsp; “Hell or High Water” meaning &nbsp;best of two evils. &nbsp;“ No Prey No Pay” meaning nothing to steal, no pay.

  &quot;Devil to pay&quot;, as you mentioned planked ships were caulked with oakum; when on the trades for weeks on end the planks which rose above the water on heel would dry out and lose the caulking. These lose seams were &nbsp;known as devils. The act of pounding oakum into these gaps was known as paying. So before the ship would be right, you had the &quot;devil to pay&quot; or your ship would sink.

  “Three sheets to the wind”- refers today to someone drunk and out of control. &nbsp;<br><br>In the days of square rigged vessels, if you had three “sheets” or ropes attached to each corner of a sail that were flapping in the wind, you had very little control of that sail, hence the term we now use to describe someone who’s had too much to drink.
