Oh, so many times.

Yet we go back out.

I have paddled Interior Alaska in the bush for years and seldom came across people. Common Sense will beat a helmet any day.

I came within a whisker of buying a climbing helmet a few weeks ago. Perhaps these might warrant consideration for a review article?
Second: as a very green boat-owner, I had a friend help me get my Catalina 21 off its mooring and onto the trailer. My friend showed up in his 40’s era Internal Harvester pickup truck, not his Toyota Highlander. It was a calamity-filled day that included (but was in no way limited to) a parking brake failure on the ramp, a dead battery on the ramp, a cracked cabin top when lowering the mast, and ultimately a rear wheel flying off the when the axle broke.
When I saw him the next day I commented that it was quite an experience. He replied, unruffled, “Naw, just a typical day boating.”
And yet, we keep coming back.

In proving foresight may be vain;
The best-laid schemes o’ mice an’ men
Gang aft agley,
An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain,
For promis’d joy!

Robert Burns, “To a Mouse”
