Because it's hard.
Because it requires constant attention to everything that's going on in the harbor and on my boat.
Because some harbors are VERY challenging.
But for the most part:
Because I can. |
Same here. It was 1939 too so it wasnt anywhere NEAR as bad as it possibly could have been. And I was in the boat I was best at, a trusted type VII, so all was well. I could have made it out, but I think the only thing that stopped me was the fact I stayed in the same place long enough for them to catch me. My guys kept up with repairs for quite a while, it was only in the end when they became fatigued. So in reality, I put up a good fight that I can be quite proud of.
