Im not at all worried about my boat, its systems are all to notch, I made it to be as safe/foolproof as possible
I have good safety equipment and EPIRB
I have insurance for the things I cannot do much to mitigate: theft, and liability.

Sometimes the best adventures start off being a little scary.

this is true.
On my way home from a free-dive class a couple weeks ago (got down to class limit of 70' 4 times, loved it) I stopped by a starbucks, the hipster-coolgirl behind the counter asked me if I wanted to try her french pressed chive something, i said that it sounded terrible and I just wanted my black coffee thank you though. Her response was "you should be more adventurous".
Adventurous is relative to the technology available as time we live, the ability to mitigate risk, and what you leave behind were you to encounter worst case. Is it dumb for me to head over to the Bahamas without an EPIRB? Well then, was it dumb for my grandad to sail around the Caribbean with only a sextant? I woudl say I would be taking the dumber risk vs. my grandfather.
Sorry... got off on tangent
still looking for bahamas coverage on my 23 CC if anyone has a lead....
