I used to believe that when we road in our open boat over the ocean and we hit a hard wave, that the boat was hitting the bottom
(ground, floor of the ocean.) When I got over and discovered the really true terror of fathoms and fathoms beneath me, I couldn't ever get on a boat again that crossed that 26 miles to Catalina.
