Look Pete, when it's your time, you go anyway (hit by a car, or a wild gunshooter, or cancer, or whatever).

But sailing solo is the most satisfying thing I know.

Though it needs a special state of mind and certainly a specific concentration.
Doing it often enough, you finally endup relaxing yourself during sailing; trusting your intuition.

It certainly demands you to strive for safety in an exaggerated way.
And it will make you more prudent inside your mind then some people might think on the face of it.

This summer I plan to video one time all my safety measures on my cat, just to show this idea.
