"It
is an interesting biological fact that all of us have in our veins
the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the
ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, our sweat, and in
our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea,
whether it is to sail or to watch it, we are going back from whence
we came."
President John F. Kennedy,
September
14, 1962, Newport, R.I.
