One might note there's a fictional Spray in the Wheel of Time. --Falos 00:24, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
The included quotation is far too long for this article and should be cut down by 80% or more. Just link to the appropriate point in the book for anyone who wants to read the rest since there are many online editions. 24.136.6.69 06:15, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
Seaworthiness negotiable?
I find the last paragraph--on seaworthiness--pretty odd. To my (very inexpert) knowledge, the very idea of (smaller) freak waves and white squalls etc. is that a seemingly sea-worthy boat or ship can turn out to be not at all seaworthy when simply running into conditions that are rare, but not unheard of. Although I don't like other parts of the book (particularly the section on the Pamir), Tall Ships Down argues reasonably that a ship's stability or resistence to capsizing can be clearly underestimated by the captains.
I'd like to delete the respective parts of the paragraph. --Ibn Battuta (talk) 05:43, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
