Wednesday
"We went out on the "O8" today. The motor launch took us out at noon. We ate chow and it was sure good. It was awfully rough out there today. Sea life is a stiff job. I hope I am man enough to do a good job of it. It felt wonderful with the spray in my face, the wind and all. The sea is big and deep and cruel, but man if he is strong enough and God is with him, is bigger.
My duty was to place the Jack in the Jack staff when we docked. I walked out onto the bow and clung to the staff. A wave just about covered me. I was lucky and held on. The most important, I fulfilled my order. The biggest waves I have ever seen.
I got a letter from Mom and sweet. Wrote to both. Went to the show and saw "Jane Eyre." It was wonderful. God created such a beautiful world and put people in it to live happily. Why must they kill?"
The sea seems to inspire my dad. The last thought he wrote today put the world in perspective with God...then man's failings.
