Sail Free Lads they never will catch your Pirate Ship-

Sailing is the art of controlling a sailing vessel. By changing the rigging, rudder and dagger or centre board, a sailor manages the force of the wind on the sails in order to change the direction and speed of a boat. Mastery of the skill requires experience in varying wind and sea conditions, as well as knowledge concerning sailboats.

The "rules of the road" for ships and boats declare that when the courses of two sailing vessels converge, the vessel on port tack must give way to a vessel on starboard tack . For this purpose, port and starboard tack include any position with the wind to that side, whether moving upwind or downwind. If a vessel is fore-and-aft-rigged, the actual wind position is overridden by the position of the boom (the mainsail boom in a vessel with multiple masts), which is assumed to be on the side opposite the wind, even if the vessel is running straight downwind or is in the act of tacking; that is, if the boom is to port the vessel is on starboard tack, and vice versa. There are exceptions to the requirement to give way: in particular, if the vessel on port tack does not have sea-room to tack or maneuver out of the way.

Chris Brogan is President of New Marketing Labs, a new media marketing agency, as well as the home of the New Marketing Summit conferences and New Marketing Bootcamp educational events. He helps large and mid-sized businesses understand how to use social media tools like blogging, social networks, community platforms, and more to build business value for marketers, sales organizations, and internal collaboration in general. For more information on this, please contact Chris directly  Chris has a First Mate Kathryn Jenex

A Chief Mate (C/M) or Chief Officer, usually also synonymous with the First Mate or First Officer (except on passenger liners, which often carry both), is a licensed member and head of the deck department of a merchant ship. The chief mate is customarily a watchstander and is in charge of the ship's cargo and deck crew.[1]
The chief mate is responsible to the captain for the safety and security of the ship. Responsibilities include the crew's welfare and training in areas such as safety, firefighting, search and rescue. The Chief Mate is second in command on merchant ships that do not carry a Staff Captain.

Kathryn Jennex joins me as an assistant / intern, tasked with helping me with some of my simpler communications needs (like adding people to the Rockstars list, making sure I’m responding in a timely fashion to commitments, etc.). I’ll still answer my direct communications, but Kathryn will help with the other mechanics. Here’s her brief bio:

I come from an academic background in Public Relations, Sociology and Women Studies and a work background ranging from counseling street youth, involvement with the film industry to logistics in remote exploration camps in the North. I have a strong background in all types of production/coordination.

I am first and foremost a people person and interested in all ways people communicate and create community. I recently became Project Manger for an online website for filmmakers and have become fascinated with the world of social media and all that entails. I’m excited and proud to be working with Chris and look forward to lots of learning, collaborating, and becoming part of the social media community.
