In any case, although it was disappointing (and there was quite a bit of
pressure to get down), the friends with whom I'd been flying had a lot
more
respect for me as a pilot for abandoning the approach rather than trying
again
and again and maybe changing the shape of the aircraft. And they say that
to
this day.

You were right, you made the right decision, and all that stuff... But as a
somewhat fanatical striped bass (or rockfish, if you are from the
Cheasapeake) fisherman I'd have asked you to do a low pass so I could jump.
Fishing Montauk with a good charter captain is one of the best of all
possible days.
