But if you mean it's up to everyone to explore the abilities and
limits of his boat, and that reality is more important than other
peoples generalisations, then I think you have a very valid point.

That is a truer statement than most might realize. It applies to everything
from Sunfish on up and includes my freighter jobs. Not just how they
'react' on the ocean but in places like harbors or tight river bends.

More importantly but in a more philosophical mode, 'exploring one's own
abilities and limits' is probably the best definition of what we are all
doing than anything I've read on the site lo these many years!

Thanks for that.
