Have, basically, been wandering around the locality.
Chat with some, ignored by most.
Another battle with a billy goat. Dog became excited.

I've read that book. What notions did you have in mind? or are you referring to the film?
heh, notions. Only that not much actually happens around here. Must be getting desperate when the most interesting thing of note is a wrestle with a billy goat .. heh.
Should, really, write that story; 'twas sort of fun.
OK, thinking .. about the "shipping news". Not much happens. Boat comes in, boat goes out.
It is her sparse style that intigues me. backstories happen, then have to notice how she (or her publisher) uses knots at the head of each chapter ...
Boat (Ship) sometimes goes down.
When in danger or in doubt always keep a good lookout.
In danger with no room to turn.
Ease her stop her or go astern.
Or similar.
To act as judgement Say's is proper, ease her go astern or stop her.

vestie, if i can ever organise a REAL yacht on the open ocean again .. you are welcome aboard ..
"How do you go astern on a real yacht?"
Interesting conundrum, vestie. There was a time when i could 'do a u-ey' i.e. turn 37ft, 8 ton, ketch within its own length. Depended on which way the tide was running (of course).
So, trying to answer your question .. what is a "real yacht" - am assuming it has no engine - and how would i go astern. Not easy, but possible. depends on many factors.
