chelsea was indeed a sailor although not a particularly
accomplished at putting up the genoa. In fact, on one
sterling day I keel-hauled it.

Ah the terne returns. Don't let the context fool you.
Terne is a word, but not a bird. A tern is, though.
(Just though I'd clear that up.)

(As far as I know terne is some kind of metal plating, but
I've never seen it as a bird.)

Terne plate is iron plated with a lead-tin alloy, to protect it from
corrosion. It is much like tin-plate, except for the use of lead. In
fact, what we do with solder to "tin" iron, is closer to "terne".

Practice. Long hours of study and practice.
