Also love the contrast between the story and the above comment. We only have a few years on this planet, might as well make the most of every second AND fill it with joy!

I had a similar experience many years ago when a friend brought me along to a three-day out of town regatta on a Swan 44. Being unknown to everyone, I was assigned to be the genoa grinder. As you felt under-utilized, so did I. But I also made sure to be the best grinder I could be and truly put my legs into getting the big jib around quickly in the tacks. I even earned a single praise for my grinding from the owner who was a screaming maniac. At the end of the day, I decided enough was enough and told the nasty owner I would not be coming back for the remainder of the series. Even though I was unhappy during that day, I put my all into my position.
