I think you could argue the exact opposite. It's soft and no dangerous
in itself. You can make all sorts of mistakes in a yacht or powerboat
that would be fatal in a car or motorcycle.
Short of being tucked up in bed I think the sea is about the safest
place you can be!
I disagree. I am a relatively new qualified coastal skipper and I am
frequently surprised how quickly a sea will change from a benign
environment to one that is dangerous and forbidding. In my short
experience, you cannot take the sea for granted. In a car, you just pull
into the next layby.
