In my opinion, the most important aspect of a Captain is his decision making process. A good Captain knows when to say "NO" and stands by it. I have seen a lot of good Captain's get complacent after doing things for a long time and then that's when something inevitably hits the fan. In 40 knot winds all it takes is one mechanical mishap (loss of 1 engine, loss of steering, loss of bow thruster when docking) and things can turn ugly in an instant.
