Today I read a fascinating quote by author George R.R. Martin. Maybe you can identify with him, especially when you watch a saltie: "I had an encyclopedia with a list of flags in the back, so I would look at all these flags of China and Liberia and England and Denmark and whatever, and I learned all the different flags, and I tried to imagine what it would be like to be voyaging on some of these ships."
