The down side of that is it can limit your options, as many of us do
have obligations. I find it much more important to have consensus
about how to respond to a calm. Last night we fired up the engine on
slow so as not to interfere with conversation, then fired up the BBQ
for dinner as we meandered home at about 3 and a half knots. The
entire day was very relaxing and part of that was knowing we had
multiple options.

Whenever we invite someone for a sail and they say they have to be back by
such and such a time we disinvite them.
