Many moons ago I had a 16' aluminum fishing boat and had earned a bare boat charter certificate. I sailed lake superior, Puget Sound, Chesapeake Bay, and the Caribbean. I sailed with a friend, who I shall call 'Commodore', on Lake Superior who owned a big cutter rig. He couldn't sail it alone, or navigate, and was prone to sea sickness. He invited me aboard often. It was the commodore who gave me the title 'Tin Boat Captain' and it stuck.
