No. It says there is always something more. It does not say you have to do it. It might suggest a person look carefully at how much he/she has done to prepare for a trip and decide, consciously, if it is "enough." The guys who did the speed record around Vancouver Island took some calculated risks. Risks I would not take, even if I were as prepared as they were. It is all about the level of risk you regard as acceptable. No such thing as zero risk. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
