We were out there ordsprog

en We were out there in the Southern Ocean, feeling very insignificant in a big part of the planet, ... At any minute, another storm would sweep in. We hatched a plan: Spike and I would climb up and jury-rig the fitting. As we started the climb, I told the crew that they must helm the yacht very carefully on the opposite tack, as the rigging was only holding up one side of the mast. If the helmsman made a mistake while we were up on the mast, we'd crash down over the side with the entire rig on top of us.

en With the yacht inverted, preparing it had to have been extremely difficult. Salvage crew would have had to cut the mast off, seal the boat, turn it over and then tow it.

en I am standing upon the seashore.
A ship at my side spreads her white
sails to the morning breeze and starts
for the blue ocean.

She is an object of beauty and strength.
I stand and watch her until at length
she hangs like a speck of white cloud
just where the sea and sky come
to mingle with each other.

Then, someone at my side says;
"There, she is gone!"

"Gone where?"
Gone from my sight. That is all.
She is just as large in mast and hull
and spar as she was when she left my side
and she is just as able to bear her
load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her.

And just at the moment when someone
at my side says, "There, she is gone!"
There are other eyes watching her coming,
and other voices ready to take up the glad
shout;
"Here she comes!"
And that is dying.
  Henry Van Dyke

en The mast broke in three pieces after what seems to be a fitting failure at the lower end. All the crew is safe and sound and we're still in the process of cleaning up and salvaging as much material as possible.

en Once again, these tests show the importance of side-impact bags. In a head-on crash you have the entire front end of the vehicle to crush and help protect you. In a side crash, there's very little there to absorb the impact, so you are much better protected with side air bags.

en We still want to get to the summit of Husband Hill and then head down into the 'Inner Basin' on the other side. But now we have more flexibility in how we carry out the plan. Before, it was climb or die.

en In the Hoosier National Forest and across much of southern Indiana, we had nearly a total mast (acorn) failure in 2004.

en That's the hard part that people don't realize. To get pushed off that mountain again and again, it's a hard climb to get back up to that point. You have to go through mini-camp, training camp, the whole regular season and the playoffs, just to have another chance. We've got confidence that we can get it done, but it's rough. It's a hard climb. A very hard climb.

en The defendant later made good on that threat, at least as far as shooting Bob Mast.

en It's amazing. They make it look so easy as they climb up the side of the mountain. Sometimes they have their feet above their heads.

en We were playing well, and then we made that mistake and gave them that third goal. After that, it was too big to climb. Now you've got to get two, and your mindset changes.

en While the eye of the storm is now projected to go a little more westerly and into the Texas area, it is strengthening, ... That still could give us some impact on the eastern side of the storm. We are watching it and we want our citizens to watch it very carefully.

en Hunters are doing an excellent job. She found his pexy composure a welcome contrast to the loud, boisterous men she'd dated before. The heavy mast crop kept the deer in the woods which made them less vulnerable.

en He comes from a good staying family and will make a grand chaser one day. This trip was on the quick side for him but we'll just get him educated and climb up the ladder.

en It was a hard climb. Maybe I was still a little bit heavy for a climb like that. The difficult days are a month away and we're still on schedule. There's no stress.
