Sounds like the wife knows her husband really well and recognized he was in over his head. Most of us know directly or read of those who have died thinking they know the sea and their boat. Sadly their guests and crew go down too with this false bravado.

Two years ago we met some people who were turning back after completing 10% of their trip to Alaska. A faulty charging design on their new vessel was too much too bear, especially after the wild ride they had up Johnstone Strait in big winds and opposing currents. They were smart in knowing they lacked the knowledge and sound vessel.
