Do It Your Way
posted by John & Phyllis Web Site
We will be traveling for the next week so the blog will be quiet unless we get to an Internet connection.
When we get back next week we will be sharing some really great comments on the Heavy Weather Series from experienced sailor and author Hal Roth and two time circumnavigator Evans Starzinger, including some good ideas for drogue retrieval.
The chance to discuss heavy weather strategies with experienced voyagers like Hal and Evans as well as Lin Pardey has been an unexpected benefit of writing this series and a real privilege.
To me the take away from these interactions is that there are a lot of right ways to do things at sea. The point being that it is not really important whether you do things our way, or Hal’s way, or Evan’s way. Rather the key to safety offshore in heavy weather is that you look at the available information, critically evaluate it in the light of your capabilities and boat, and then come up with and test your way.
