Very seldom do we ever have a misunderstanding and when we do, it's my fault.
If a man makes a statement in the forest, and his wife is not there to hear him. Is he still wrong?

Seriously though, I did quite a bit of new boater training on Great Harbours. One of my pet peeves is to hear the relaxed quiet of a nice marina or anchorage shattered by some captain yelling at or berating his wife/crew when docking. So, I always stressed to my new boaters (generally couples) that if the captain is screaming while docking, you know one of two things has happened: 1) He failed to communicate his docking plan properly to the deck crew/wife. Or 2), he has REALLY screwed up and is trying to lay the blame off on someone else!

Either way, it's the Captain's fault.
