Shouldn’t she be wearing a life jacket if she’s going to be posing on the edge of the boat like that?
I think she prefers sail boats rather than fuel burning boats, so it’s going to be difficult for them to turn around and pick her up if she falls in.
Greta: "what about no longer killing the planet? Or children, for that matter?"
Jaybone: "Yeah, but maybe you could first wear something I consider appropriate? Then we can talk."
He is right though, please at all times wear life jackets on boats - regardless if that is on sailing or motorised vessels! It is extremely hard to stay afloat and alive until the crew is in a state to help. It happens way too often and even to experienced sailors.
Being right doesn't make it appropriate. The context of a message is important and having such a statement about such a person in such a situation met with a comment like that is ridiculous.
lol “wear something I consider appropriate” like I’m criticizing her wardrobe.
The ridiculousness of your comment was kind of my point.
Oh no, you're just criticizing the person like a literal dipshit.
We're talking about safety equipment, not her fashion choices.
Sailboats have motors that can reverse. No it isn't hard to turn around unless they're in a savage storm or extremely large waves. Which judging by the picture they aren't. At all.
The smaller the ship the easier it is to maneuver.
Yes, you probably should be wearing a life jacket on deck. Although the boat may be at anchor, in which case it would be pretty easy for her to climb back on.
It's not hard to turn a sail boat around
