Higher or lower than being attacked and sunk by a whale?


===============

Probably lower but who knows. Anyone who has a need to feel
absolutely safe and secure at all times should probably not be on a
boat in the first place. There are too many unknowns for anyone to
claim absolute safety.

I forgot the sea mines. Are there still sea mines left from
World War II ?
Persian Gulf (Gulf War) but not elsewhere.

====================

It's my understanding that most mines are magnetically actuated so not
much of an issue for plastic boats in any case. I'd rank it somewhere
near collision with a submarine.
