    The problem with that point of view Van, is that it may take others out
    with you. I have observed instances of multiple boat collisions with
    serious risk to others, caused by older skippers who "froze" or "lost
    it" at the wrong moment. I have been aboard when an older skipper
    failed to keep a lookout and ran aground.

    Even falling in the water as you describe risks the lives of would-be
    rescuers and costs us all money for SAR and emergency services.

    Something to consider anyway.
