the [[underlined]] lonely passengers [[/underlined]] on an [[underlined]] expensive passenger boat where things are not seen in as businesslike and efficient way as on a regular passenger boat and where one is perforce kept in touch with all the internal troubles of ship and crew. While I can snugly find shelter almost anywhere here. She has to lie outside, exposed to Ocean gales, ready to slip anchor should the wind break out. [[/underlined]] When the power tender brought me back to the ION at about 10 P.M. I [[underlined]] said to the Norwegian who ran her that he should want a microscope to locate my little boat.

I [[underlined]] lost [[/underlined]] entirely [[underlined]] the vision of [[/underlined]] the [[underlined]] Moby Dick and it seemed to [[/underlined]] me that [[underlined]] my ION looked bigger than ever before. [[/underlined]] and very restful and comfortable in her snugness. [[underlined]] A big yacht after all is ^[[much]] smaller than an average tramp steamer, [[/underlined]] and [[underlined]] the best equipped yacht falls short in comfort and equipment when compared to a modern Passenger boat. And so it is with everything a matter of relativity. [[/underlined]] When [[underlined]] anything becomes so big that it masters you, then one [[strikethrough]] feels [[/strikethrough]] loose that intimate touch which makes yachting what it is and which turns sport into business. and which makes the difference of being in a small comfortable house instead of in an institution or a hotel. People of limited imagination [[/underlined]]

Transcription Notes:
I use past tense 'underlined' with a 'd' because that is my understanding from the instructions. It seems a waste of time to edit just to remove the 'd' in 'underlined'. If I review and the transcriber just uses 'underline' I do not add the 'd'
