Eek! Sounds like Florida..too bad I live there.
Thinking about Cirdan, I myself would be glad to be nuder such a ruler. From what we know of him, he is obviously wise, being from back in the day(he was born or awakened at Cuivenen, wasnt he?) and had been through the wars of the First Age, the rise and fall of Numenor, and the domination of Sauron across Eriador, and throughout the fall of the Arnor and its successor kingdoms. Although not militarily strong, he seemed to know how to set a good defense: the towers built west of the Narog pointed that he seemed to know how to protect his people, even if Melkor having a navy was a little 'off.' His motif of living by the sea really was a protection. At few times did the Enemy reach elven shores, and then the elves had ships to fly to, and as Balar as an example, had places to go. Also, the fact he was given a Ring of Power is strong. And that he surrendured it without any pre-intention suggests that he had a strong willpower.
