JANUARY 16 / 09
Today marks one year since my dads passing. The words don't come easy for me, so what better way to celebrate him than to do so via his words, via his writing. His passion for sailing will inspire me forever.
"But once back aboard, life get good again. Since man first went to sea mariners around the globe have rested themselves and their vessels in unnamed bays, coves and harbors. For most sailors I've known there's something almost spiritual about being at anchor.The gentle rocking of the boat, the silence broken only by the whistling of the wind in the rigging is intoxicating. It's why we do what we do." (~ entry from Captain Tierney's ship log S /V Golden Eagle / 7 29 2005 ~)
We miss you, Daddy.
