I had forgotten this old Breton prayer:
O Dieu, Ton mer est si grand,
Et mon bateau est si petit.
It's the sort of thing the Walkers, had they been Breton fishermen,
would have had as a brass plaque fastened over the companion way on
their way to Flushing. Susan would have had to apply a lot of Brasso
fregently.
