I'm right now sat on a comparably remote island in the Alaska fishery, relatively new here. I've always romanticized the sea, landlubber as I am, and after a few months here, I went to Waikiki for vacation and - hated it. I couldn't leave soon enough. Too much happiness. The people here have mostly been here for many years, and will remember someone they worked on a boat with for a few weeks in the 80s or what-have-you. I have time to read, be left alone when I want to be, grab a beer off-site. I can see why healthy people would go insane, and why insane people would go healthy. |

>I can see why healthy people would go insane, and why insane people would go healthy.
When I got to the Yukon a friend was introducing me around for the first 6 months or so. Every introduction would go "This is <Dave>, he's a bit crazy." "This is "Mary, she's a bit crazy".
It took me a while to catch on, and your quote captures it perfectly.
