While out sailing today, I pondered the voyage of Christopher Columbus and his brave crew. Imagine setting sail 519 years ago with the crudest of navigation tools to sail around the world.
While we are better prepared for a daysail on the lake than Columbus could have dreamed of. He had a passion and resolve to set off into the unknown. Most of us today have enough communication and navigation gear to find our way almost anywhere in the world but not nearly the nerve to try such a voyage.
I give thanks and respect to Columbus and his crew.
