"I did not conquer the Pacific. It let me go across." - GERARD D'ABOVILLE

"When I say that I value my personal freedom above all else, I also accept the other side of that coin, namely that I take full responsibility for my actions and conduct. One hundred percent…

"This voyage across the North Pacific is, to my mind, the supreme responsibility, because in putting my life on the line I have risked my all…

"True responsibility, the ultimate exercise of one's freedom, is to know that in the event you fail you expose yourself to the supreme penalty, death. That in itself is enough to make me feel the full weight of what I do. All the rest is so much literature."

"I have chosen the ocean as my field of confrontation, my field of battle", writes d'Aboville, "because the ocean is reality at its toughest, its most demanding. As my weapons against this awesome power, I have human values: intelligence, experience, and the stubborn will to win."

From the book by Gerard d'Aboville "ALONE"
