      I've never sailed the ocean, other than on a Navy destroyer.😅 But I do sail a large, round lake in central MN, Mille Lacs. I've had to white knuckle it a few times. Once you learn to trust your boat, if you ever do, and assuming it is trustworthy, it gives you confidence, which to a large degree negates your fear of death. 😒

    Love your work Sam, and always pray for your safe passages. Do me a huge favor and at least consider this for your personal safety.... rig your jacklines down the center of your deck from pulpit to mast and make your harness line short enough to keep you IN the boat's lifelines. If you get dumped and are dragging behind Pickle, there is probably very little chance that you will be able to overcome the drag resistance and pull yourself back onto the boat.
