"I think...how the sails work. Where to put them to make the boat go this way and that. I can't believe I'm saying this but steering just seems a whole lot easier. Sails are...they're confusing. You have to admit it. Confusing in the same way playing pool's confusing. All those balls and all that physics and manoeuvres and none of it gets solved the way you expect it to.

You can't just hit the ball hard enough and know it'll go in. Likewise, you can't just blow a lot of air on a sail. It'd be so much simpler if you could."

Every word was just a race her tongue ran to get to the next.
