If you haven't been scared on occasion while boating in the ocean then
you either haven't been boating in the ocean, or your actual time
boating in the ocean has been minimal. The only experienced seaman who
haven't been frightened on occasion by the ocean either are really
stupid or dead.


I don't think I have ever felt like I am going to crap in my pants for
any reason, on the sea or on land.


Come on up to the barn, I'll hand you a rope with a 1600 pound
firecracker on the other end. If you don't get all tingley inside, you
won't have to worry cause it would only mean you were already dead

In the ocean, I have been in gale
force winds, have felt very queasy, and have even been sea sick, but no,
I have never felt like I am going to crap in my pants. If you think
everyone reacts to stressful situations by being frightened or feeling
like they are going to crap in their pants, you are incorrect.


However, I have come to a conclusion about these animals. Everyone
says that they can sense fear and if you are afraid, you are screwed.
I disagree even while scared half to death, if you keep your head and
stick to your training the horse will react to that more strongly...
and you can win the war. But you got to stand in there, you gotta'
play hurt or your finished...
