Put your agenda ahead of the sea, go up against it and see who wins. I know this goes against the macho image of, 'man alone against the mighty sea', but that is all it is - an image. Getting real is about seeing things as they really are, not how we would like them to be or how they are portrayed in the media. The best way to do that without constant disappointment is to learn to appreciate what is actually happening around us – rather than constantly attempt to manipulate reality to fit our desires, or satisfy our own image of ourselves.13
