Sad news indeed... going out in gale winds as a matter of course 
In Response To: Very sad news - Ned Cabot was lost off Newfoundland this weekend... ()
brings this oft quoted truism to mind,
"A man who is not afraid of the sea will soon be drowned, he said, for he will be going out on a day he shouldn't. ...But we do be afraid of the sea, and we only be drowned now and again." J.M.Synge, in The Aran Islands
one is always at the whimsy of the sea.
A good man lost.
