What to do with a frightened wife?

04/07/2008 19:04

Had a great day out sailing in The Blackwater today ..... until I left SWMBO on the helm while I went for'ard to tidy up a mooring line ( I should have done it before). We encountered a bit if a gust and instead of luffing up she tried to fight the tendency to luff and tried to bear away - we didn't get knocked down but we certainly got "very tippy". The situation was quickly resolved but she had a fright and got upset. This after years of trying to gently break her in to sailing and convince her it's fun. I'm not sure what happens next. At the moment she doesn't even want to talk about it. Any suggestions please?
