Otn,
The master of a vessel often have to make quick decisions without having all
the information that he would like.

Interesting. Thank you for that insight as to how a Master works.

I gave an answer based on the evidence that Jeff provided. You didn't give
an answer. You were incapable of reaching a conclusion.

Ahhh, so you believe in giving answers based on scanty information. I
prefer to think, that a good answer could not be given, based on what
Jeff gave, so you're right, based on that information I was unable to
reach a conclusion.



It seems that you are the sort of person who would dither and procrastinate
when presented with a difficult situation. I suspect that in real life, you
would be more decisive - so why don't you answer Jeff's question? It was an
excellent question, that promotes real sailing discussion. If we all
adopted your attitude, then we couldn't have any sailing discussion at all.

LOL Obviously you haven't really followed this thread, just jumped in
with both feet.
Might I suggest a wee tad more reasoned thought to your responses and a
bit less petty criticism as to how others go about making theirs?
