"When a ship has three jibs sheeted to the wind, it is being held sideways to wind and waves in strong storm conditions with very high waves, causing it to roll wildly from side to side with each wave, in continuous danger of capsizing." Hence, the idiom 'Three Sheets To The Wind.' My character is the anti-thesis of this and is rock-solid, so to speak. Though whether a little bend to the wind would be an improvement is anyone's guess. This is a 6 by 4.5 inches gel pen with color pencil drawing on medium bond acid-free paper.
