[Public-List] What is the "Quintessential Act of Seamanship"?

[Gordon Laco]

Samuel de Champlain wrote that two important things to bear in mind when
considering how to retain the confidence of a crew are:

1) Don't drink too much in front of them.
2) Never be too specific about where one is going and when one expects to
get there.

He wrote this in the early 1600's.
