Quotes by Elliot Rappaport (?)

“Earth warms its atmosphere from below like a skillet cooking a pancake, reemitting heat that the planet has absorbed from sunlight. Wind is a product of the basic inequalities in this process, entrenched deficits that the forces of nature are working ceaselessly”
― Elliot Rappaport, Reading the Glass: A Captain's View of Weather, Water, and Life on Ships

“Captains count money, fill out forms, and bear the onus of awaiting the unexpected.”

“It’s hot and sunny now on deck at midday, enough to drive you into the shade if you’ve got a choice. The trade winds have returned, steady from just south of east, and the ship slides along as if on a rail. There are dry starry nights, the evenings electric, with horizons the color of watermelon rind. Orion, recumbent, loops overhead in a great arc. We cross the equator near 132 degrees west longitude, just after midnight on December 17. North along our meridian the next bit of land is British Columbia. South is Antarctica. The latitude display on our GPS reads, briefly and thrillingly, 00° 00.000’.”
― Elliot Rappaport, Reading the Glass: A Captain's View of Weather, Water, and Life on Ships
