Every day sailor should be prepared to get themselves out and back in without assistance if they are doing their homework. The same applies to every vessel. I suppose it is the amount of 'homework' that some people apply to their endeavors that some are critical of. To his credit, at least SnackDiddy is asking questions.
Wow. Caleb...I'm speechless. And that doesn't happen often. Thanks for the objectivity.
