we need a word in the naughty corner; theory vs practice
Indeed.
My driving concern, though, is to have folks think about things in their armchairs over a port and at planning. For winds, if the crosswind is brisk and we might be inadvertently put into an unfortunate min schedule situation, can we mitigate the problem in advance so that the worry factor goes away ?
In the general situation what we train for is what we should do. Very rarely, though, circumstances conspire to defeat the theory game plan and we may need to be innovative to survive. Most of us aren't called upon to make those sorts of calls throughout our careers and, on the odd occasion, it just doesn't warrant getting out of bed in the morning.
