One Hand is for the Boat and the Other’s for You

Godspeed is Between 2.9 and 8 Knots has a gaping hole in the essay, the old sailing addage, “One hand is for the boat and the other’s for you.”


I discovered that the paramedic corp has its own version of the sailor’s addage, “Protect yourself first, then your partner, then the patient.”

Thanks to Faust for that one.
