Annotation:
Comments:	Ease of action is owed to one inference of the sailing frame, namely the "smoothness" of the water surface and it resulting in a lack of turbulance during sailing. A specific metaphor is needed involving a specific sailing frame.

Example Text:	It's all downhill for the rest of the course.
