Subject: Fair Winds and Following Seas

I don't know if this is the right place to post it, but I was just watching an episode of NCIS (in Australia) and at the end of the episode, Gibbs told the widow a Navy Captain whose head was found in the trunk of a stolen car, Fair winds and following seas.

[> Speaking of, someone misquoted it in a 9/11 book as Following winds and Fair Seas or Following Seas and Fair Winds. Had me doing a double take. -- Meg, 03:12:02 06/29/06 Thu
