I would mostly have to agree with Eurocruiser's statements. There IS a price to pay for ignorance. And it looks like "the devil has had his way" with them, as the old seaman would say.

They are young and have a lot of time ahead of them to make up the losses. But they've also gained much experience without injury, which makes them fortunate. It looks like the tide is in their favor. To be able to afford a Cat at their age and travel too is a lot better then I'm doing. Who's their sponsor?

I can't really feel sorry for anyone who is doing so well. It's all relative..........................._/)
