If you can't laugh at yourselves over something like that, how do you managed to live together on a boat. Besides, like I said, I am the chicken far more often than my wife. This came as something as a surprise. All my life, I've engaged in what some would call risk heavy activities (scuba diving since the 60's, rock climbing, caving, parachuting, former Army Ranger, etc.). But when it comes to the safety of my boat and those aboard, I suddenly get real conservative.
