A New Awareness to Survive at Sea

Paul Steed of California wrote a letter that he called the first rule of seamanship. He talks of how a man who is successful on shore can afford ton buy a boat and go off cruising. And the he will be tempted to use the skills that made him successful on shore once he heads off shore. But as Paul says, few people seem to know they need a new set of skills to survive at sea. Perhaps a better way to say it would be they need a new awareness. When a man learns to fly, the first thing he learns is that he and the plane are perfectly safe as long as the plane stays away from the land. A boat is the same. The greatest danger is close to land. Rule number to the sailor should be, be aware of the land. For the landsman has this belief that there is security in being close to land. When a man becomes a sailor, he scans at the land for he knows it to be his foe and his proximity will—always on guard. The sailor’s eyes see differently from the landsman. Don’t take your landsman’s eyes to see.
