I wouldn't like to lose my sixth sense. Just today it saved me from a lot of trouble. I was rowing along in my single sculls, without a coach on the shore to warn me for anything. All of the sudden all alarmbells go off in my head, I look around to see I'm heading right at a bridge pillar. I quickly withdrew my oar, but was too late to actually avoid a collision. Of course, I flipped, eventually, but no damage or harm was done. The water wasn't that cold either.
All in all I think it's safe to say that without that sixth sense I would surely have wrecked (or probably damaged) a boat with a price tag of 3500 dollars.
