"I really don't know why it is that all of us are so committed to the
sea. Except I am, I think, it's because, in addition to the fact that
the sea changes, and the light changes, and ships change, it's
because we all came from the sea. And it is an interesting
biological fact that all of us have in our veins the exact same
percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and
therefore we have salt in our blood, our sweat, in our tears; we are
tied to the ocean, and when we go back to the sea, whether it is to
sail or to watch it, we are going back from whence we came."
