“Thirty years ago, my sister, Gale (so named because a gale hit Boston Harbor the night she was born), some friends and I stole a boat in the middle of the night and sailed it out of the Santa Barbara harbor. Suddenly we were becalmed and the current began pushing us toward the breakwall. With no running lights and no power, we were dead in the water. Out of that darkness a steel hull appeared: it was the local Coast Guard cutter. My father, stern-faced and displeased, stood in the bow.” YearsLightRunningNightFatherWaterBornDarknessMiddleYears AgoCurrentsLocalsBoatThirtyPushingMy SisterBowsSteelCoastBostonSantaHarborsThirty YearsMiddle Of The NightGaleBarbaraCuttersHullSanta BarbaraCoast Guard Book:A Match to the Heart: One Woman's Story of Being Struck By Lightning Source: A Match to the Heart: One Woman's Story of Being Struck By Lightning
“I grew up around the pool with my sisters. Both of my sisters swam. I was always there. So I thought, why not?

I learned that way, and started liking it more and more.” WayWaterCasesHappenedGrewMomComfortableGrew UpSafetyMy MomWhy NotMy SisterPoolWater Safety Author:Michael Phelps
