Captains have large privileges and large obligations.
NOT an easy position.
I’m also a former parachute rigger, US Army heavy drop, up to 38,000lbs, and US Air Force, F-4s, and F-16s (ejection systems).
Tremendous satisfaction in running a boat, wide open... across an alpine lake.
My boat would take a concerted effort to sink, but a fire would change the dynamics instantly. Ever vigilant.
