Whatever she would have done, it would have had to have been something where she could be the boss.
Opportunities for women to be bosses were limited in those days. I suppose she could have married a
yacht designer and been his administrative assistant. Then she would have had the best of both worlds:
lots of sailing and someone to boss about.

There was a famous East Coast boat designer called Maurice Griffiths who wrote about sailing on the
East Coast in the days before marinas were invented. If I remember correctly, he had once had a wife
who would go off sailing in weather that Maurice regarded as more suitable for staying in port. I think
that she left him because she felt he wasn't adventurous enough. That's rather how I see the adult Nancy.

Apologies in advance if I have mixed up MG with another designer.
