Men are rewarded and punished not for what they do,
but rather for how their acts are defined.
This is why men are more interested in better justifying themselves
than in better behaving themselves.

Aliisa's mooring in the YC Sindbad was the most public place and next to the gate that had the most frequent traffic of fellow sailors and their visitors. In addition, I had - perhaps foolishly and definitely egoistically - put a large Aussie flag up. Concentrating on all the work to be done onboard was not always easy, particularly after "homeward bound, part 1" had been published in the Finnish VENE magazine. The problem was exasperated by my own eagerness to talk, talk and talk. Half the day was easily spent chit-chatting with passers by about our departure.
