I disagree with number 9. You wouldn't want to die on a good friend's new sailboat, but some asshole's new sailboat is a great place to die. Think about it - that ruins his sailboat forever. It becomes "The Boat That Guy Died On". Hey, if ya gotta go, ya might as well knock some asshole down a few notches while you're at it...
