thanks guys. though I am a fresh water guy. in a small bass boat. the lessons are still apipcale. I suppose the reason im watchining. is ive been scared. and unprepared.. ky lake nicest conditions imangeable cross .fish the coves great day.. (land between the lakes) come back out to head home? lookly y around the corner OH SHIT. barges throwining 15 ft spray. descion time. smart move . cozy up in cove. bad move try to cross. . interesting crossining. worked out. despite the self doubt. condifece in my boat my skills (and need for hot shower and food). outweigehed my misgivings. worked out.. in hindsight should of layed up. . but as it always is in after action reports shoulda colud have wouldhave.. don't mean shit. good or bad a descion needs to made and commited too. I think that's what spells captain. that being said. had there been other souls on board. well you know?
