I'll go for the Captain's decision, better to be on the dock wishing you
were out mid channel, than being mid channel wishing your were back on the
dock.

As for stopping when it is bad, there are two schools of thought about
that. One, that they stop too soon and that the captain is being far too
cautious (!), the other that they don't stop soon enough! The latter
view comes from people who've spent 5-6 hours on a 2-hour crossing and
ended up back where they started!
