"The sea has become an important benchmark in my life and in the everyday stress of America it is too easy to become like the chameleon and change color without even knowing it.  As far as we know the sea has the same appearance now that it had 3 billion years ago.  It reacts the same now to the physical forces of wind and waves as it always has.  When I go back to sea and it seems different, I know that I am the one who has changed and not the sea.  The sea has allowed me to develop a peaceful relationship to the world.  It has helped me find what I can know and what I cannot know and from there to determine where knoledge ends and faith begins".
