In the analogy, I see rocket man as throwing the box overboard and Mr Bishop and company as recovering it and filling it as quickly as possible.

BUt When things go wrong, and all of that seaman's skill and preparation have been taxed completely, chits are withdrawn from the box. The skipper has no control over their withdrawal; they withdraw themselves, as they see fit. Only the seaman with a good supply of chits has the luck to survive, because he had the chits to spend. But he had best start to replenish his supply immediately, because they could be needed any time, and the sea does not extend credit.

I see SGI with forethought, a set of skills, and equipment.

but again the sea does not extend credit.

dd>"We are now out on the open seas".

But you must keep in mind we are likely heading into the "Perfect Storm". Where even the best designed boat with the best Capt and crew, may not make it back to shore..

ORCL 14, Sunw, 14, CSCO 15, JSDU 17.. All well designed boats!
