It gives me that "ceremonial chill" as the self proclaimed boating buceneer Wallace use to proclaim on his weekly
radio boat show, to read this great thread. The mystery of the sea may cast a spell at any age, social condition, or economic class. It matters not as to the size of the vessel for all have the same view on the water. I have met some of the most humble and honorable sailors that are in the "Greatest Generation" on the Great Lakes, especially in the
United States Sail and Power Squadrons. I am indebted for their willingness to share knowledge and first hand experience. Thank you Mr. Littman for this interesting thread.
