Bucher Quotes

“She shuddered as the tide-rips of the Gate swirled and beat against her hull like the ghostly wakes of thousands of Navy ships who had preceded her to sail forth in harms-way through this channel of joys and sorrows. Here the sea always probes with a turbulence of cross-currents which both beckon and warn the outward bound sailor, somehow strangely complementing his own state of mind as he makes this passage out of San Francisco Bay.”
― Lloyd M. Bucher, Bucher: My Story
