Hard alee!?

Hard Alee - the command given to inform the crew that the helm is being turned quickly to leeward, turning the boat windward. 

I remember as a kid learning to crew on Flying Scots on Bay St. Louis...I would zone out, mezmorized by the water and spray, when the skipper would yell, "Come about!"...all would get ready for the boom to swing across...then "Hard alee!" and swoosh, it would fly by as the boat turned windward. 

So, when I thought of a title for this blog on leadership, I immediately remembered the command and timing of my old sailboat instructor, who I think looking back, looked like Pamela Anderson...
