Nautical Phrases. This was not at all what I expected to write about, but nautical phrases was my captcha so here goes. I live in a community which celebrates it's marine heritage evey year with a festival "Canal Days". The first line that came to mind was, Ahoy, mateys! Somehow I think I need to do a little better than that. The first phrase that applies today ....is cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey....no not naughty talk, it was a brass ring that the cannonballs rested on.

Other phrases with nautical origins we are all familiar with are; three sheets to the wind, not to mention broad at the beam, close quarters, hand over fist. We are all familiar with the phrases: walk the plank and high and dry. When I researched just a little I was surprised at how many sayings we use daily have nautical origins. We'll hope your day is plain sailing, and I challenge you to use a nautical phrase in your post. Photo Credit: morleyhunt a tall ship in Lake Ontario at Kingston, ON. 80 Journal Writing Prompts.
