When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck sayin’

At 7 PM, a main hatchway caved in, he said
“Fellas, it’s been good to know ya”

For some reason Saraks Mum hated that song.

Me and some others i know have a love/hate for it.

Love because it tells a story well, about things that we’ve all thought about or heard about, without frills or gloss.

Hate because it makes you think about how, even in modern times, the weather and the water will kill you in a most disinterested way.

It does remind you just how insignificant you are.
Certainly not as immediately dangerous as rough seas, but I remember flying past a huge cumulonimbus at 39,000’ and we were no more than about 2/3’s the way up it. Biggest storm cell I’ve ever seen.
I was quietly hoping to myself that it would ignore us.
