Pay close attention, Capt. Skippy, as it's going on a year since you've
sailed the Gulf Stream.


Technically, that's true, as anything longer than the instant you're in it
is "going on a year" - and, as always in this very curious trip ashore,
you've once again exaggerated our time on the hard - but I've done it 6
times in the last 3 years, and in the couple of years before that, have
traveled an aggregate of several thousand miles in it, under sail.

How many crossings have you made in that time?

"And then again, when you sit at the helm of your little ship on a
clear night, and gaze at the countless stars overhead, and realize that you
are quite alone on a wide, wide sea, it is apt to occur to you that in the
general scheme of things you are merely an insignificant speck on the
surface of the ocean; and are not nearly so important or as self-sufficient
as you thought you were. Which is an exceedingly wholesome thought, and one
that may effect a permanent change in your deportment that will be greatly
appreciated by your friends."- James S. Pitkin
