Yes, you're insane...
BTW, I just got a Gill three-dot foul weather gear jacket on the clearance rack at WM for $40. It was a $200 jacket originally. Major differences between marine FWG and non-marine are things like:
Inner cuffs so that when you reach up to adjust something rain doesn't pour down your sleeve and soak you.
Retroreflective patches on the sleeves and body
Better hood designs and a high-protective collar
etc...

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.
