My hopes for becoming the first teen-aged pelagic explorer were totally dashed by that fourteen-year-old around-the-world-sailing Dutch girl. Darn you!!
EDITOR'S NOTE: from the Greek pelagos, or 'sea'; also related to archipelago, which is derived from the Italian for Aegean Sea. (Not to be confused with the Augean Sea.)
