This is a picture of performance anxiety:

The painterly girl is thinking: "ooohh Kid on a Mountain gets me so hyperventilated! Specially on a Clarke original! it makes my legs feel so looonnngg! And all the colors got kinda red and blotchy!!"

The weekend sailor guy is thinking: "Damn, don't this chick know any hornpipes! I'll just leap outa this hatchway and remind her about all that before the oxygen wears off and I revert from pugwash back to Diver-Dan! - AAArrrrrr! (wot happened to the resta my boat??!! - Where's my hose-pipe - damn you cap'n barracuda!! - Gasp!! if'n only i'd started out on a Clarke!! Where's me 10-fathom snorkel - gotta .... get ... thru ... th ... next ... Baaarrrrr!! AAAArrrrr!!!!!!!!)"

Dude, you gotta cut back on the caffeine and the psychedelics a touch.

Is it me, or does the girl's face look sorta like Michael Jackson?

Something is very wrong about her pose. She seems incapable of bending at the hips. Perhaps an old SI injury?

The whole scene seems desparate - sort of dark and dinghy ....

Ahhh, the mysteries of life; was it the chicken or the egg, Michael or the Boat Lady, that came first?

That's the thing I like about the internet...distance. My brothers used to deck me for such atrocious puns. All a port of growin up, I suppose. I used to resent them, but as I've grown, I've learned to sea things a bit differently and have waved goodbye to such stern grudges.

What punster could resist the possibility of eliciting groans from around the world?

This hull thing is getting out of hand. If the poor girl in the sailboat is waiting tiller ship comes in, we'd better throw her a life ring.
