You, like most Americans, probably plan to run for president. You have plenty of time, theoretically; the general election is still 22 months away and even if you plan to seek the nomination of one of the major parties, those don't kick off until January.
Rearing is a common measure of activity and exploratory behavior used in the open field and sometimes in certain mazes. Nothing else. But I agree it could be related to very specific behaviors. I like the idea of escape.
Depending on wind & circumstances and size of the vessel there can be hundreds even thousands of pounds of pressure on the sail and the line, so winches are an important tool for the sailor. Grinding (and tailing) is the act of rotating the winch handle to pull on the line inorder to tighten a sail. On larger sailing vessels, the crew operating the winch is often referred to as the Grinder. Because the winch wonât pull a line tight unless the line is tight on the winch, both grinding and tailing actions need to occur simultaneously. On the American Cup vessels (for example) while one person can do both actions, It takes two - or one person for each action when speed and every second counts.
