Really great read. Guy sounds like he lived a crazy life and went out in his own way. I have a hard time accepting that logic, but then again I'm a young healthy person. Perhaps he saw his strength and individualism dwindling with his age and decided that he'd rather go down at sea than lay in a bed for a year and pass away 'gently'.

One of my dads sailing buddies was a 80 some year old retired merchant marine. He used to take a small open sail boat out of the Golden Gate to watch the whales. Guys like that have made peace that the end is rushing up.

Not me, Kubuntu 16.04 and Chrome too. I did CTRL-+ a few times though -- maybe that helped?

Same on Chrome / Ubuntu 16.04. Looks like a strange font.
