Somehow, when I think of floating around the south pacific in a 16th century galleon, I just can’t get my mind around the fact that dudes did that.
I was on the south pacific in a modern warship, and it still scared the living sh!t out of me.
I just can’t imagine what it was like.
Yeah but once you’ve signed on, that boat is something under your feet, right? I’ll bet you don’t regret a minute of it.
My Father said that when he was out on the fantail taking a break. He would watch the Destroyers bob up and down with the waves. They would disappear and then reappear on top of the crest and then disappear again. He said he was thankful for serving on an aircraft carrier that glided through the waves as if they were not there. :)
