The only safe ship in a storm is leadership. If your ship doesn't come in, swim out to it. I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky; and all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by. Anyone can take the wheel of the ship in calm water but it's not so easy when it's not calm water.
