…Drink and the devil had done for the rest.

I’ll be spending a few weekends over the next few months taking sailing lessons on the San Francisco Bay. If I turn out to like it enough, I’ll likely continue with courses through offshore passage making so that I can sail off to the South Pacific in my Copious Free Time.

…With a Yo-Heave-Ho! and a fare-you-well
And a sudden plunge in the sullen swell
Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
