Perhaps you might like to read some accounts of people caught in storms?
They don't describe elation afterward -more often great relief at having
survived.


Maybe we are talking about different things. I'm talking about going
downwind in an F8. Going upwind in an F5 can be unpleasant. Going
downwind in an F6 can be unpleasant, unless you have the right crew.


Going downwind, at speed, with the right crew on the right boat, is a blast.
