that I am able to set-off on my circumnavigation, let it be known by all
that I am fully aware of the inherent dangers of such a voyage and have
chosen to set sail with those dangers in mind. And should the Sea claim me
during that voyage, I have one and only one thing to say to armchair
skippers casting aspersions upon my good name and character:

Bite me. My boat, my life, my decision.
