So I knew about drogues (sea anchors) and a little bit on how they are used, but I did not know you could use a drogue to steer a sailboat if you lost steering.

Hell, I was practically born on a catamaran and did not know this.

I think it's a good day when something like this surprises you.

Evil exists. You can not negotiate with, bribe or placate evil. You're not going to be able to have it sit down with Dr. Phil for an anger management session either.
