In my search for something for this challenge, I came across this lovely Longfellow quote. It seemed fitting.
My mother had a dreadful fear of water, which she passed along to me. I've therefore spent little time in boats of any sort. When I think that the hardy 102 souls who came over on the Mayflower, along with the crew of 25-30, spent 66 days on the bounding seas in a boat that was 90-110 ft. x 25 ft. it makes me marvel at their courage.
