ding ding ding!

Rec sailors may need a constant reminder that conditions change quickly on the water. They remember their last sail in big wind years ago and don't take into account that they are out of practice and out of shape (not to mention their boat).

I do go out of my way to make a point about some prudent saftey issues to rec sailors at my beach when I think it's important, if the captain wants to do his own thing... at least I rest easy at night.
