Just keep moving ahead Nomars Girl. Take it from an old guy that there are plenty of situations in life where no amount of money, nor luck nor good looks will get you through but putting one foot in front of the other will. I was once sailing across the Atlantic from Plymouth, England to Newport, Rhode Island and ran into the typical Atlantic High pressure system in mid summer with barely a breadth of wind with 1000 miles yet to go. Imagine looking around with the sea as flat as a pancake and the boat barely making a ripple through the water. The only available choice, aside from slitting ones wrists, was to be alert to take advantage of any stray puff of breeze. I eventually did make the destination and had a great time in Newport for several weeks. So you hang on Girl. There is a certain amount of satisfaction in sheer persistence.
