man has always been drawn to the sea. but it is an unnatural setting for us... a place of great danger... tides, currents, waves, wind... each presenting there own hazards, none of which can be ignored... the slightest laps of judgment could be a mistake you can never recover from. but a good sailor doesn’t fight against these elements. a good sailor works with them, using them to his advantage... while others less fortunate might be forever cast a drift, often in several pieces, he always comes home safely....
