kumatage: a bright appearance in the horizon, under the sun or moon, arising from the reflected light of those bodies from the small rippling waves on the surface of the water --Bowditch's Navigator, 24th Edition (1854). My day-to-day public writing appears in Life Afloat Archives (see link in sidebar) so go there first; this blog is simply what's going on in my head behind the scenes. You're welcome, but be advised you enter at your own risk - I offer no explanations and no apologies.

Slowly
"My boat reminds me to live slow. Life in the fast lane takes a heavy toll on all of us. We think we have no choice, but of course we do. Our sailboats remind us of the pleasure one can find in simple things. Experiencing the wind and water; talking; waltzing on the waves; delighting in seeing the unexpected like a porpoise, whale, or manatee; enjoying the trip; and throwing away the schedule." -- T.P. Donnelly
