Like most probably, we debate how much stuff we need for the boat to be ready, and how much practice we need for us to be ready, and fully realize that no one ever heads out totally ready. One great thing about our little sailing family here in the middle of IL, I never screw up in front of other sailors, they are all friends and are cheering us on.TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03459069175481821975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552422419133819877.post-73588983343525390342012-11-03T17:04:15.881-05:002012-11-03T17:04:15.881-05:00No!

As full-time cruisers (for over a year now), we are firm believers that many would-be cruisers spend too much adding gadgets to their boats, and far too little time sailing. The more you do it, the more you cope more effectively with whatever comes your way. By the way, I used to get embarrassed for "screwing up in front of other sailors..." I realize now it's a rite of passage, haha...

It isn't true of course, but though we are not perfect there really is very little room for error in my work-a-day world. Even though I should know better I kind of carry that attitude into everything I try.
