Arriving June 2023

"Where are the Sailors,
That history use to know,
Strong, stout, rugged mates,
That knew how the sails blow.
Are they ground on the shallows,
Or lost below the thirsting waves,
Have they cast their courage earned,
Or become stranded beneath an ocean's grave..."

This creation is in tribute to those whose own personal adventures have been cut short. May the memories of those who have sacrificed all be remembered by us who have benefited from their strength.

Ships at Sea in rough seas
The frail merchant ship creaked in protest against the strains it was being tasked to perform as the morning sun began to rise ever so slightly from behind the ships weathered stern. Looking up, the Captain noticed the grayed canvas sails being attended to by many of his faithful, yet fatigued crew. With luck, both men and ship would hold.

“Ship astern, aft starboard,” a voice echoed from aloft. “Three masts, and runnin’ full!”

"The difference between the right word and the almost right word, is the difference between lightening and a lightening bug"

~ Mark Twain
