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.

Thinking is essential. Feeling is essential. It's just a matter of wiring
which you do first. I think it's less expensive and time-consuming to do the
thinking part first w. r. t. boats.

Thinking: look for quality boats first, do all the logical stuff.

Feeling: what your gut tell you.

If you ignore either, you'll regret it.

Best is one who transitions from thinking to feeling. With practice and
time on the helm you become competent with out thinking.

Any new boat you will have to think thru every action and re-action,
until it becomes second nature.

that would still be more desirable than being ruled by
dishonesty, as you are.

Scott,

I have a different address for you than the one that's showing on the
list. Which one should I use `Off Line' ?

I added a picture to my Signature Page while posting with Katy and I
wanted to send one to you,

Anyway, check out the last picture in my signature. It's for Dog loving
Sailors.
