Sailing
"The gods do not deduct from man's allotted span the days spent sailing."
Before I studied oceanography, I had the good fortune to spend several years at sea working on (mostly) traditional sailing vessels.
Here are some of the vessels I’ve had the privilege to sail:
The Polaris was built in 1906 in the San Francisco Bay, USA.
The SV Kwai was built in Bremen, Germany in 1950.
