I have only had to chicken out one time, that is, in a canoe on a lake in Canada.

I had my wife and 4 year daughter with me and the wind swells where intense as we got to the launch ramp. Fishing guide after fishing guide came in and one looked at me and then my daughter and said "your not out in that?"
He looked real salty (fresh water guy) and I took his word for it. Packed up and sat it out. Two hours later the lake was glass and we got to go out.

Almost had thunderstorm cells kick me off La Jolla this year, but the weather app told me that I had a window to get a yellow.

Always be safe.
