wraiths ghosted in the mist
then burst forth into the light
shattered, laden with moisture
heavy and bright
the horizons widen
and the sun begins to glow
off in the distance,
some rain falling,
falling into the ocean below
the land is here
and time is here
and all is well
24 - 25 of June 2014 | Bainbridge Island -to- Meadowdale State Park, Washington
Set out upon the water early the morning of June 24, vessel loaded-to-capacity. Eight miles north, changed route to due west, and skidded up on the shore of Eagle Harbor. Boat tied fore and aft to a pier to prevent its meandering about as the tide rose, then a squishy-footed trot into town after slipping the drysuit skin to stow inside the boat. Picked up my passport at the post office, general delivery, had a snack and called a friend, then sloshed back to re-enter the boat and continue north.
