" Living together may mean sharing the boat, the mess-table and the sleeping berths. It may mean sailing together and sharing the joys and hardships of the voyage. But it is not about passing from one shore to another, and so its purpose is not to deputize for the (absent) solid bridges. A log of past adventures may be kept, but there is only a perfunctory mention in it of the itinerary and of the port of destination. The fog covering the other—unknown, unmapped—shore may thin out and blow away, the contours of a port may emerge, a decision to harbour may be taken, but all this is not, nor is it meant to be, written down in the sailing papers." - Zygmunt Baumann
