I wore that A LOT as a little kid, dreaming about being a real boat captain someday. Funny how I never have one now as a real one... Maybe I need one!! But then, even the stupid greek fisherman's cap seemed like a preposterous affectation, and even the sea gods agreed and blew it off my head while sailing in a good stiff breeze. Out man overboard drills that day did not manage to save that stupid hat! So I chocked it up to it being inappropriate attire. I find a decent straw hat serves well enough, and if lost overboard, floats well enough for a retarded man overboard drill. But after being rescued, starts falling apart pretty retardedly after a salt water bath. But I'm still wearing the last one that happened to right now. I can smush it down onto my head real well to make it stay there while sanding and varnishing, at least.
