Re: Storm Sailing Advice

The problem I have in general with that sentiment is that an atheist does not believe a god exist in the first place. At most you will get floundering...

Re: Storm Sailing Advice

Fair enough. I may have muddled some of the posts. I apologise for that.


I'm not arguing anything to be used as a panacea. It all comes down to situational judgements.




I'm glad you made...

Re: Storm Sailing Advice

If you practice in heavy weather, you can make preparations if you know the weather will turn from heavy weather to survival conditions. If you have prepared properly by practicing, you will also...

Re: Storm Sailing Advice

I agree. One has to practice. I, on the other hand, was merely saying that even if it's difficult to use, you wont be able to use it, unless it's on board.

Re: Storm Sailing Advice
