Sailing talk gets everywhere. Like it or not, you use the language of sailing every day. English was born of a seafaring nation.
Consider the sentence: 'I rather liked the cut of his jib as he was always above board but never aloof, no one could bamboozle him, he hung on to the bitter end and would batten down the hatches rather than cut and run.'
No less than seven sailing metaphors there.
