I totally agree with you. The excitement and challenge of life is to conquer the challenges you choose. If it is boating, how to be a safe boater in all conditions under changing environments, how to prepare backup actions when something fails, what spare equipment you should have, how to have a safe evening on a hook, and so on.... The experienced person that enjoys challenges normally prioritizes their actions to insure personal safety, property safety, and then having fun. Fun can be defined in many ways from achieving inner peace to the exhilaration of accomplishment.
This thread started with someone wanting to do something special for their wife. BI and others warmed everyone's inner emotions with gracious offerings. Now we debate the man made restrictions we allowed ourselves to be ruled by.
In today's “Politically Restricted” environment it is painfully obvious that you need to get a law degree so you can do the research required to stay out of trouble. Common sense and intent of the law has been trumped by self serving individuals that have learned how to manipulate the legal process and turned us into a society that is now ruled by the technicality of law. (What is the meaning of "IS")
