Actually that's not a "fact" but then it's fairly well
proven that you are one of those neurotic types who believe
your own BS.


100% safety record after 12 years of sailing with so many people goes a
bit beyond luck, Doug.

Sure, it's easy to "be safe" when you never go anywhere.

OTOH if you had really spent much time on the water,
especially around a major metro area, you would have had
many occasions to help others. Most real sailors here have
participated in a rescue at one time or another.

Empty bragging about how you've never had an accident
doesn't impress people who have saved lives at sea; but then
that's just one of the many things you don't understand
about sailing.
