This is a strange one
it was strange first the pain them the light then the old lights fading stern as my vessel settles down on his wind. this day is glorious the first day of eternity eternally perfect day of sun and sea and sail my boat seems new launched. as if this is the first spray that ever danced on the cedar deck but she is the same old well loved slightly brittle sloop that I have sailed four seven decades yet as I handle the tiller and the sheet I see that both have been spliced… spliced by such an expert hand that I cannot see old wood and hemp begin or end. I haul up the jib. the fore sail cracks, fills and settles down as the boat accelerates past her usual eight knots. I relax a bit setting the sky’s brightest star just above the bowsprit’s end racing across the endless eternal sea driven by the eternal wind
