About ten years ago, we were on vacation in Mexico at a nice hotel on the beach. I was a bit excited as they rented Hobies on the beach and you could take them out on the ocean. I walked over to inquire about renting one for a few hours and the young guy asked me about my experience level. I told him I had been sailing for 20 years in San Francisco and that I sailed and owned two boats on the bay. He pressed on and questioned my ability to handle this boat. I was sure I had much more experience than most of their customers and finally said to the guy, "I have forgotten more about sailing than you will ever know". With that, he lead me over to the boats and I sailed away.
