They were all lost at sea. Many people died. I guess thats the
harshness and fear of loss that has frozen you to your mooring
shackle. It is that base fear that has turned you into a pretend

When I get my boat I'm gonna stay close to the mangroves.
Just want to fish anyway. And eat 'em.
Had enough of those big waves when I was in the Navy.
