Why?


I think it depends on how you're wired. Some people are tremendously
intuitive and have great success operating from gut reaction and
premonition. Others may be wired so that it is the thought process and
logic that dictates their decisions. And then there is the vast
majority that are spmewhere in the middle and use both to achieve
results. They are probably, IMO, that are most successful.

Gilly?

Is there really any separation between the two? I don't think there is
one without the other.

Have you ever been sailing along day dreaming...?

I tell you after years on a triple srew and quad screwed boats you have
so much to do you better be able to do it without thinking about it.
Most that I have seen that really fail at boat handling are the ones
that have to take the time to think about everything they are doing. In
other words they can not keep up, much less think ahead of the boat.

That's also IMO the difference of a Master and a Captain.
