Finally warm enough to take my cap off
and we’re getting some wind
yes, it’s all atmosphere
haze-infused grays with tinges of green forests
and bluish mountains
pulley block rasping behind me
the advantages of a cloudy day
without sunscreen
for a bald guy
sitting motionless
apart from a slight roll
in a nearly dead wind
how calming
am still surprised the tiny yawl can push this big boat
a porpoise here, a porpoise there
a bald eagle flies past
the chains to even the tension
on the bowsprit with jibs
