This is My Watermark. What’s Yours?
I was upside down with my head and chest submerged in the Toronto Harbour when it hit me. It was early spring and I was taking the final test for the accelerated Basic Cruising Standard test. It was cold on Lake Ontario, pouring rain, and our crew was struggling to finish. My job – the final job of the day – was to capture the buoy in a “man overboard” drill. It was the would-be captain’s third or fourth attempt. I was wet, cold, exhausted, and ready to go home. This time, I vowed, I would reach the buoy no matter how far away it floated, no matter how wrong the angle or the speed. It ends now, I thought.
