Perhaps Christian can regale us with a story or two of his old skipper.

 

[Christian Williams]

The current Turner is on display in the Jane Fonda biopic on HBO. You can see the decline, but he still functions. He had some trouble recognizing me three years ago, but figured it out and was off and running He's five years older than I am, but we're all headed to the same place eventually. And he was always tired from just being himself.

A famous quote:

“If I only had a little humility, I’d be perfect!”

 

[Rocinante33]

Another quote

“Looks like some heavy weather coming. Put up all the canvass, we’ll let god take it down.”

Attributed to him at the 1979 Fastnet. Christian, are you a able to corroborate that?
