PART 3 · LESSON 27 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES
The Morning
The pier at six on launch day, the garland on the bow, the whole soi, and an engine that will not start: brother, it won't start, the whole soi is watching; forty people are waiting, what now; I'll handle it myself, give me ten minutes; she's my father's boat; I take responsibility, Uncle; I'll tell the soi it's part of the plan; air in the line, bleed it here; you do it, trust yourself: taking responsibility aloud.
