Native American saying:

May you live as long as you want to, and
May you want to live as long as you do.

People can die at sea for any number of reasons, just like driving a car, 
but that doesn't make it any more comforting to those 'left behind.'

As we said in the Navy:

"You are never more than 5 miles from land.
Too bad most of it is straight down."

and

"Fair Winds and Calm Seas" my friends.
