As we became friends he repeated his mantra, &ldquo;it&rsquo;s okay&rdquo; about any worries I had about living aboard, fixing up Convivia, and sailing away. He even called us just before we untied the dock lines to remind us that everything would be just fine. I&rsquo;ve tried to remember /just/ the tone of his believable voice and though I&rsquo;ve repeated his words a million times, I&rsquo;ve been searching for my own authentic, &ldquo;it&rsquo;s okay.&rdquo;</p>
