John McPhee Quotes

There Is No Weatherfax Map On The Stella Lykes - Only The Barometer, The Barographs, The Teletypes From NOAA. The Radar Can See A Storm, But That Is Like Seeing A Fist Just Before It Hits You. When A Storm Is Out There, Somewhere, Beyond The Visible Sky, The Ship Will Let Him Know. "When You Get Close To A Big Storm, You Can Feel It. For Some Reason, The Ship Takes On Almost A Little Uncertainty. She's Almost Like A Live Thing - Like They Say Animals Can Sense Bad Weather Coming. Sometimes I Almost Believe A Ship Can. I Know That Doesn't Make Sense, Because She's Steel And Wood And Metal, But She Picks Up A Little Uncertainty, Probably Something That Is Being Transmitted Through The Water. It's Hard To Define. It's Just A Tiny Little Different Motion, A Little Hesitancy, A Little Tremble From Time To Time." Off
