THE VOYAGE Down through the ages man has put to sea. Sometimes for food, at other times for the defense of his home lands, and often for adventure in exploring new and unknown territories; and man has also put to sea to answer the undeniable call from nature . To this day, the sea remains a mystery. There are times when the cruelties of the sea are far beyond imagination. As a child of nature, she will sometimes claim the lives of those who venture to solve her many mysteries and at other times her moods reflect a smooth, deep, crystal clear beauty. Many preparations were made prior to our journey. New men who were just making their claims to manhood were called upon to do her service. Training was given, tasks of making their new home away from home more habitable were assigned and completed; supplies taken aboard; provisions stored for the many meals to be eaten; and above all, an adventurous spirit prevailed in the minds of the crew. New places would be visited, new cultures and customs learned and experienced, and new hands to be clasped in the spirit of friendship and peace. These are the memories we will carry and share with those who will never know the worldly feeling one gets when standing in the exact spot where history has made an indelible stamp. Or see a glorious sunset at sea; or the reverent serenity during a clear night at sea when the sky is ablaze with stars and the unbelievable illusion of their closeness. We thank God for His many blessings and we pray for the safety and safe return of those who challenge the seas and bravely set out to extend peace, love, and brotherhood to distant lands. Port: Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Date: 26 May 1970. Weather: clear, warm, and the sea is calm. Word is passed, cast off all lines!! OUR VOYAGE BEGAN. J. R. HINTON
