I'm not sure that Mike's views need a response. They are very similar to a carping article in the Guardian (of course) yesterday which I'm pleased to say got a series of forceful replies from readers today.
I will simply say that from my own personal experience of bad weather at sea I'm sure that Chichester and Knox-Johnson expressed similarly gloomy views on frequent occasions, but were lucky enough not to have the whole world listening.
For the rest I'll just say that I flatly disagree.
