Now, as I left her, to walk alone, I had to turn and take one long look at her, half laying on the beach and half still in the water. The late evening sun reflecting off the still wet skin of her made me want to walk back down for one last... No, there was camp to set up and she, I, both, would have to wait until later, when the moon would rise up high in the sky, and the three of us, water, folbot, and I, would share quiter moments together. What's was that about cost?? Never enters the equasion with my boats. Pasion has no price.
