    I learned how to move the ship backwards by alternating harpoon pulls.

    This was before I realized that you could turn the ship using only the wheel even when you had no forward momentum.

    But still, I felt like a genius the first time I backed the brigantine out of a dead end.

      You sound like an old timey whaler and it’s very pleasing. Not the implications for the whales. Just the old timey sea-ness.
