Say what!
I'm not the one throwing myself off roofs and landing on my head.
It's always safety first.


Swill? Dumb****. Lots of people get over their heads and in serious
trouble in small boats, in big water. Safety first? Maybe you just do not
do anything hard around the house. I have had some serious moments in my
14' aluminum skiff years ago, when winds came up. And even in the family
23' dual outboard, getting caught in a fast cross wind. Listed the boat
up, so one motor came out of the water. That was in a calm area near the
Berkeley pier, and the wind was coming from a levee about 2' above the calm
seas. I have a 21' deep sided boat, and still watch the weather. We get a
south wind, and the area outside the Golden Gate gets huge seas. As there
are shallows north and south of the channel under the gate, where the sand
and dirt are piled up.

Yabut he boats mainly in a protected cesspool of a harboUr.
