Re: [Paddlewise] Sharing a thought

As I just happen to have "On Celtic Tides" on my desk.....
The quote referred to is;
"A man who is not afraid of the sea will soon be drowned for he will be
going out on a day he shouldn't.  But we do be afraid of the sea and we
do only be drowned now and again."
    In his talk about solo paddling Chris indicated, though not is so
many words, that he lives by that motto.  If he is the least bit
uncomfortable about going out that day he stays on the beach.  Despite
my recent post about my Squam Lake escapade I agree with that idea.
(The truth be told, I was never uncomfortable about my situation on
Squam Lake.)

    Paddling along through fog so thick that only one's thoughts are
visible, your reverie is abruptly shattered by the ancient cry of a
great
blue heron as she lifts uncertainly from the brilliant blue of a
mussel-shell beach witnessed only by the brooding, wet spruce....your
passage home seems as much back through time as it does through space.
