well, good sailors are 'risk adverse'
In Response To: YES !!!!!! ()
even - esoecially! - when crossing the Southern Ocean in a planned solo non-stop voyage! If you're not 'risk adverse' (cautious, prudent, averse of taking unnecessarily dangerous risks) then you die on that kind of a trip. From what i've read, Sunderland is 'risk-adverse' in that kind of way. Good for her.
