Even though I the author may not have "gone out to sea" in this book I just hope that it still inspires those landlubbers who dream of sailing to go sail regardless if you actually get to go out to sea or not. Get to work on a commercial sailboat or tall ship or not. Go out and sail even if it ends up being on something like a tiny 16 little hobbie cat like sail boat on a like. Go sail be happy and have fun while you still can.
