In the book, Gladstone wrote a portion of his life when he was a sailor. His narrative leads you to experience a completely different life on the sea. I envy those sailors, who as the author described, can leave all the problems behind when they go out to sea. I can almost feel the lightness, carefree and the serenity of the anticipated trip. However, do all the problems ashore disappear? I doubt it. On the other hand, we all know that "Time heals," so, sailing away for a period of time, out of sight, out of mind, is not a bad idea. Over the years I've heard a lot of people say, "I'm going to take a vacation, get away from everything and clear my mind." I think, we are all the same. The sailors attitude is in our blood.
This is a quote from chapter one.
