At the risk of getting people annoyed with me (you would be
surprised!!), I am reproducing it here in its entirety.  I think John
Winters of Paddlewise would like it as it seems to jibe with his own
philosophical bent.
best,

I really appreciate the post. Lindemann is a truly special man and I
recommend his book to every paddler - even those not planning an ocean
trip. His book is honest, forthright and wonderfully entertaining. I was
once talking with my dentist about people we would like to have dinner
with. At the time we agreed upon Gorbachev. I would also add Lindemann to
my short list.

His advice “If you no longer feel you belong there, you don’t belong.”  is
perfect.  Imagine how few kayaking disasters there would be if people
followed it.


Cheers,
John Winters
