I was looking forward to my second job. I knew there were some opportunities, and I was ready to pursue them. I've spent my childhoods building a reputation as a hard worker for all but the most passionate of sailing clubs – the first two were founded in the 1930s, and they were followed by the first three by the early 1960s.

I'm not going to go into the details of what I've learned about self-worth, but here are a few things I've learned from my years aboard: Don't be stupid. If you want to be a sailor, you have to be willing to be a sailor. You have to be willing to do the things that make you a winner. You have to be willing to do the things that make you a winner. Don't be a piece of shit. You have to be willing to do the things that make you a winner. You have to be willing to be a piece of shit. Don't be a good captain. You have to be willing to do the things that make you a winner. You have to be willing to do the things that make you a winner. Don't be a coward. You have to be willing to do the things that make you a
