A Starboard Tack

I'm on a very familiar starboard tack right now bearing 225° out of Lewis Bay at 41.6° North, 70.28° West.

Today's my last day on the boat this year. She's being hauled tomorrow for the season. It's a bit depressing, as it is each year. This is my true home, my world. I am and always have been of the sea. She is in me and I am of her. And it is in her cool embrace that I always feel most at home.

It's about 62°F right now (17°C) with almost overcast skies, some sun peeking through. The forecast includes some passing showers, but nothing major. Winds are out of the southeast at about 9 knots. Seas are choppy with white caps as far as the eye can see.

I'll be on and off SW today, but know that I am home and at peace with the world in the loving embrace of the sea. 😌

You make it sound wonderful, enticing even to a spirit of fire 🔥

@OliRos Ahhh, you are of the fire tribe? I've known of your tribe for quite some time and in fact wrote about one of your sisters some years ago...

@sarabee1995 😂 There's a lot of steam and hissing when we meet!

@OliRos Lol, yes, a hazardous combination to be sure. My girlfriend is of the Air tribe.
