At the end of a big day out on the ocean we all get together to eat and to drink and to talk about our adventures.

At the end of a big day out on the ocean the boats all get together too. I wonder if there is some hidden spirit in those wooden hulls that look over and protect their human occupants when they take to sea.

I wonder if those same spirits, if indeed they exist, share their own experiences of the day.

Regardless, they look so tranquil here as they rest in protective waters until tomorrow when we will all head out into the ocean again.
