Bernard Moitessier was so prepared, his boat so well built and maintained, that when the storms came he could drink a cup of coffee while the other sailors bailed water full time or died. When the race ended, he didn't stop. He kept going and set his own record. That's who I want to be. Not the clever guy. The prepared one. Preparation. Maintenance.
