On the departure of a shipmate

The Old Boat - Frederic Edwin Church 
We do not ask a tamed seagull why she feels the need to disappear from time to time to the open sea. She goes, that's all, and it's as simple as a ray of sunshine, as normal as the blue of the sky. - Bernard Moitessier

    Sounds like old Bernard was trying to rationalize his wife's infidelity.

    Actually, Bernard was more likely excusing his own behavior. He more or less ditched his first and kids.

    Err... should read "first wife and kids."
