When we take boating trips, if everything went according to plan,
there'd be nothing to talk about. You could simply give your pre-trip
itinerary and that'd be it, no reason to travel at all. People who
actually do stuff know that all the fun is in when things do not go
according to plan. This is why I rarely discuss stuff that goes
right, why bother. It is when unplanned things happen the fun
begins. This is why I always post about crazy stuff that happens and
not about how everything went according to plan.
In thinking about this, I had a startling revelation, "Some people
hate uncertainty" and this realization boggled my mind like finding
people who love Nazis or similar. I find myself considering, "People
really LIKE things to go exactly as they planned, NO WAY" but I s'pose
some people really are like that. I guess there's nothing wrong with
that attitude but is alien to me.
So, just out of curiosity, which type are you? Do you like stuff to
go as planned or is seriously off course good for you?

I like equipment to work as planned, and the weather to be reasonably as
expected.

Operating a sailing vessel on the open ocean is serious business.
If you're looking for wild crazy unpredictible fun... go to Vegas.

Ahh, but there is a difference, gambling is uncontrollable uncertainty
whereas knowing seamanship allows one to partially control the
situation. Gambling does nothing for me at all, not interested.

So, just what "unpredictable fun" was you alluding to, dumb ass? Go back
to Harry's group and stay. Not one person here wants either you or Harry
here.

Seamanship is no remedy for a poorly maintained boat. I've seen nothing
from Froggy's posts that tell me he is an accomplished "seaman," but
I've seen plenty of posts from him that tell me he is lax about
maintenance and preparation.
