As explained in the next post, I take every opportunity that I am afforded, to encounter these small Outward Bound craft and their sailors. Typical groups that one might expect to encounter are disabled veterans, cancer survivors, troubled youth and on and on. They all come out here for one reason, to look inside their souls and sort things out, the experience with others that are in "the same boat" coupled with the beauty of the Fl. bay is a powerful force.

Great program. Neat pics. Tight quarters for sleeping aboard.
ReplyDeleteI like your catboat silhouette.
That Silhouette begins every chapter in a book that one of my friends, Roland Barth, wrote about his journey from the Keys to Mass, in a seventeen foot Catboat. This was a nice tribute paid to Lee Marie and her crew.
ReplyDeleteRoland received a special award from The Catboat Ass. for his efforts.
