Patiently describing sailing from the 7th floor

Patrick was one of the people who welcomed me when I joined the ATG team at Oracle. He spent hours with me and another coworker getting us up to speed on the software architecture, UI design and other foundation concepts to make us thrive in our new jobs. 

One day we were in a conference room on the 7th floor facing the Charles River when one of the student sailing classes was going on outside.  It was a particularly windy day, and not being a sailor I didn't understand the zigzag path the boats were taking.  As he had with our software, Patrick patiently described what each boat was doing and why. He gave me a master class on sailing showing his unending patience, his willingness to share his knowledge and his expertise in so many sports.
