It was a rustic summer home style in the mountains of upstate New York. Here’s how it looks in Castine, Maine.

Lifting anchor

Every morning, we had to lift anchor to get on our way. Our schooner relied on a four-person winch, plus a helper to keep the anchor chain orderly for the trip.

top of the ladder
up the hatch this morning
broke out laughing
we’re in a bank of heavy fog
just like home
an hour later it’s lifting
and a decent breeze from NE kicks in

this cold fog
is a state of flight

Or line, as they insist

right-handed cord
coil it clockwise?
left-handed, counter?

Right laid
a Z twist

in the cable

coiled wrong, it will kink
potentially dangerous
