Your dad was into sailing before you were and he’s got the Captain’s hat to prove it. Riding his fixie of the sea, he sailed his boat like a fistfight and left black-eyed waves in his wake as a reminder to Poseidon that he was the true king of the depths. The Atlantic winds were his mistress, but your mom was the only real person who could raise his sail.

So hipsters, next time you’re shopping for lateral blue striped shirts and brushing up on your sea speak before an ocean bound voyage, remember this…

You’ll always just be a deckhand to the original master and commander.

Thanks to Icawdrey for today’s epic dad photo.

haha! timely.

Is it weird that I actually NEVER see people dressed like that while sailing? We’re splashes of bright but fading colours, patched up shorts, an assortment of dried up boat repair substances caked on, dollar store flip flops and baseball caps with Mount Gay Rum advertising.

I only know two guys who wear Sperry’s.
