Zitat des Tages über Boje / Buoy:
The very hirelings of the press, whose trade it is to buoy up the spirits of the people, have uttered falsehoods so long, they have played off so many tricks, that their budget seems, at last, to be quite empty.
I was standing on the deck of the USS Blue, a destroyer. We were all alone out there at this buoy, tied up.
During an open water swim, it's easy to lose your direction. With all the splash, it can be quite hard to see the next buoy, so I look behind it for something bigger, like a tree or a building, and aim for that instead.
Chicago's buoy was a couple of hundred yards astern of Arizona, and I was saddened to look at her.
It's always helpful to have somebody help buoy you in difficult times and problem-solve with and to share the marvelous moments with as well.
