What one should not do on a dark and stormy night

My husband is taking the ferry tonight, from Helsinki, Finland to Stockholm, Sweden. It is a windy night, though not up to a real storm. I must admit I felt exeedingly stupid, when, in search of literature for a project, I found I had stopped to read the Swedish final report on the 1994 Estonia catastrophe. I mean, I know by now that I am an easy panicker, so why did I not watch out for the obvious???

Being a professional paranoid is, it seems, just a heartbeat away from quite unprofessional and inefficient worrying.

By the way: I have not managed to stumble upon a net-available English translation of the Swedish final report (the link from the catastrophe commission's English website did not work). If anyone knows where to get one, please log in and comment.

wishing peace of mind to all who read this
