11 mph winds, 6 knots a danger? Try wearing a lifejacket etc. in August in the SOC in such mild conditions, particularly on a passage. I guess the majority of sailors in the Sea are foolish if they don't wear a harness or jacket? Those I know (20+ years in the Sea) will immediately put one on in bad conditions, but not in the given mild conditions. Thank God Mexico let's us decide our fate and doesn't legislate such matters from Mexico City (by non sailors) like some countries. Yes, I wear a seatbelt, but, horrors, sometimes drive over 65 mph!
