My point exactly.

If they have courage they can overcome the fear and do what is needed
to be done.
Thats the difference between skippers and outstanding skippers.

Anyone one top of a 60 foot mast offshore in a storm alone better be
skeered enough for the adrieline to kick in and provide super human
strength needed :0).

A person without courage may decide it is safer to hope the sail
shreads and might hide below.
