Calm down Donut! Ganz is talking about a Capt. with paying
passengers, not just some schmuck out for a daysail.


Ahhh... Perhaps I am becoming a little paranoid.

Over here, we now need to have a written passage plan before we sail
offshore.

This Passage Plan *must* include such things as your Course to Steer, a
weather forecast, and a Risk Assessment that takes into account the skills
of your crew!!!


Nobody on deck may be under the influence of alcohol. The limits that apply
to car drivers who travel in close proximity at 70mph, also apply to sailors
who travel at 5kts in the wide open spaces of the seas.
