    The only place you can’t sail is directly into the wind. You can go all the other places eventually but it’s a lot of back and forth.

      Tacking back and forth is kinda the opposite of a straight line though, isn’t it?

        All your tacks are straight, they just turn every so often. Over time that adds up to Velocity Made Good.
