Moments
I ran across a blurb in Full and By (the column in Sailing by Bill Schanen) that resonated. He was writing on the passing of Dodge Morgan, who sailed around the world, singlehanded, non-stop. When Dodge was asked to describe his most frightening moment during the voyage, he said it was "when I pulled the next-to-last bottle of beer from the bilge."
Here's to keeping the bilge stocked!
