How about sailing hard to windward right through US Navy maneuvers...
No, thank you... As one of my old skippers used to proclaim when a small craft ventured too close for comfort, "Well, they're in God's hands now!" I am uncomfortable with less than 25,000 tons under me.

My husband, a Brit, said “they are warm and dry and drinking coffee, they can wait for us to get through here!” We must have been a beautiful sight, though. heeled way over, smashing through the seas, yellow foul weather gear getting soaked with spray, white hull and sails, and the brilliant Caribbean blue sky.
A sister of that boat is on my home page.
