We are well advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to
be, whether we find them attractive company or not. Otherwise they turn
up unannounced and surprise us, come hammering on the mind's door at 4
am of a bad night and demand to know who deserted them, who betrayed
them, who is going to make amends. We forget all too soon the things we
thought we could never forget.

there have been winter gales, and storms and fog and the like.
But in all my experience, I have never been in any accident...
or any sort worth speaking about.  I have seen but one vessel
in distress in all my years at sea.  I never saw a wreck and
never have been wrecked nor was I ever in any predicament that
threatened to end in disaster of any sort.
