I just came upon your website whil...Dear Scalawag:<br /><br />I just came upon your website while doing a search on nautical quotes. I am a sailor like you. I currently reside on S/V Vixen in the USVI's and I am writing a book on nautical toasts and lymrics. It will also include a chapter on nautical wisdom. I in particularly enjoyed the following three lessons you learned during your voyage and would like permission to use them.<br /><br />6) Your parents job isn't to make your dreams come true, it's to teach you how to make your dreams come true. (courtesy Captain Doug, Puna, HI).<br /><br />7) Never trust anyone who doesn't say "I don't know". No one knows everything, so if a person always has an answer for everything, you know they are making up most of it.<br /><br />8) Never trust anyone who can't say "It was my fault". There are too many people who do not take responsibility for themselves today, and a boat in the middle of the ocean is the worst place to have to depend on someone like that.<br /><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />Capt.
