which I steer have kept me off the rocks. I have paid attention when
I had to and
have made more right tacks than wrong ones to end up at this moment-
with a
thousand ports of call behind me and, I hope, a thousand more to see.
My
voyage was never a well-conceived plan, nor will it ever be. I have
made it up as
I went along.
