Re: Ask them, "Would you do it again?"

There is a formula we quote here at Hobie Cat to describe difficult situations:

Misery / Time = Comedy

This is not something you would wish to experience, but having lived through it can bring some sense of positive experience to you. I had a bad experience during the Hobie midwinters event in Mexico in the early 80's. The one hit by a big storm. We had to be rescued as well. I can recall a friend back home telling me he wished he had been there. I thought he was nuts. But over time, this experience is one I can count as an adventure or learning experience... still wouldn't want to go through that again though.
