Easy sailing

Two friends were discussing conflict resolution strategies that could be employed to get two other friends talking again. One said, “if we can just get them in the same room, it will be easy sailing” (to get them back on friendly terms). This is a congruent conflation of “smooth sailing” and “easy as pie” or perhaps “easy peasy”, all meaning for something to be easy and without problems. “Easy sledding” may also be in the mix, as “sledding” and “sailing” sound similar. Kudos once again to Verbatim for hearing this one and sending it in.
