"My intention is to continue the voyage, still nonstop, toward the Pacific Islands, where there is plenty of sun and more peace than in Europe. Please do not think I am trying to break a record. Record is a very stupid word at sea. I am continuing nonstop because I am happy at sea, and perhaps because I want to save my soul." -- Bernard Moitessier, 1969-03-18, dropping out of a round-the-world nonstop solo sailing race
[Yes, he dropped out of the race so he could continue sailing longer and to more interesting places/]
