Someone who wants to master a vessel, or really anything will journey
thru this 4 step process.

Step 1. unconsciously incompetant
Step 2. consciously incompetant
Step 3. consciously competant
Step 4. unconsciously compentant

Would you like to explain each step in detail... so we all have a
clear picture?

Hey Joe sorry it took so long to respond, I'm just catching up to these
older posts.

The correct step listing would be:
1. Conscious incompetence - you just learned to tie your shoe, but your
not good at it yet.
2. Conscious competence - after practice you are good at tying your
shoe, but you still have to think about each step.
3. Unconscious incompetence - you know you are getting better at tying
your shoe because you don't have to think about it much.
4. Unconscious Competence - you can tie your shoe in the morning while
simultaneously talking on the phone to yer pal about your *first time in
the saddle with Katy last night* and still get it right.
