Beth's book recently came out in a second edition, which is heavily expanded and revised, and my guess is that the OP hasn't the depth and breadth of reading cruising material that you have.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
