"It is only right to say, though, that to insure a reasonable measure of success, experience should sail with the ship. But in order to be a successful navigator or sailor it is not necessary to hang a tar-bucket about one's neck. On the other hand, much thought concerning the brass buttons one should wear adds nothing to the safety of the ship." From Joshua Slocum (who sailed from Martha's Vineyard in the early part of the 1900's and was the first man to sail single handed around the world)
