“The ocean is a dangerous place, but it’s also a place you can still go and have to yourself, a place that’s clean and, yes, wild. If you go into the ocean you’re making a choice. You need to know you can drown, you can get lost, or you can be eaten by great beasts.”
David Helvarg, Saved by the Sea: Hope, Heartbreak, and Wonder in the Blue World

“California today is responsible for more than 40 percent of the nation’s seagoing trade. That’s why you can’t talk about California without talking about its ports, as we will.”
David Helvarg, The Golden Shore: California's Love Affair with the Sea
