Thanks, Bob, and others, for your thoughts on going to sea at a very young age. The flip side of the question--and perhaps more pertinent here--is when is one too old to make ocean passages? --Georgs, aged 67 Georgs Kolesnikovs Your host at Trawlers & Trawlering since 1997 http://www.trawlersandtrawlering.com Your host at TrawlerCrawler.net since 2009 http://www.trawlercrawler.net

While nothing guarantees good decision-making, experience is the single most important prerequisite for displaying good judgement. The kids, for all their physical talents, quick thinking and enthusiasm, simply have an empty bucket of experience. In contrast, the older sailor's bucket of experience overflows, even it the other traits are waning.
