Harmony on the high seas Quotes

“When we sailors are slow to adapt to this shift in the relativity of time we inevitably find ourselves covered with boat bites. A toe snags on a cleat, or while clambering into the cockpit, a knee bumps the winch. When first back on board, I try to ease gracefully into this different flow, hoping to avoid a scraped shin or a head bump. Remembering to reduce my first world momentum, I purposely operate in slow motion, accepting the feel of this different dimension and the movement of the boat underfoot.”
― Virginia Gleser, Harmony on the high seas
