I suspect that we all feel that way to varying degrees. Trustfully, that's one of the main reasons I have a 9.9 kicker engine on my boat. I call it my "get home" engine.
I think I would feel more comfortable with a brand new 200hp 4 stroke engine, but that's just not going to happen anytime soon.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
