Think about this a bit. You are the captain of the ship and you have freedom of choice. You could be on the bridge, watching the helm like a hawk, or you could be with the nice lady, utilizing your hawk-like observational skills ..uh...otherwise....
It's easy to be smug about the choice we would make, but we are all too often very human.....
I presume you are being somewhat tongue in cheek???
As someone once said, the ocean is usually pretty safe. It is the hard stuff around the edges that causes problems. While I wouldn't begrudge a captain the company of a nice lady, there are certain times when I would expect him to be paying attention to his day job. When sailing close inshore is one of those times.
Simularly, I would expect an aircraft pilot to be in control (of the plane), at least during takeoffs and landings.
