Directions

My memory of exciting days has included this one at the top.
You could see also the phosphorescence reflected on the waves, because of the moonlight shining on krill. Its is something sublime, magical. Navigating captivated me so much, we never stopped.
After a few months working between Angra and Búzios, to get experienced, I left aboard the  Miss Global bound for the Caribbean. At Cape São Tomé we met a moon fish and some manta rays that jumped out of the water. A bit further north we saw a lightning storm.
In Recife the stay lasted a few months, for we waited a sail to return from Rio. It had been sent back to Rio for repair - ripped at the leach. That was the result of my inexperience, for I left the leach line too tight while the wind picked up.
And while I was comfortably waiting at Recife, everything changed again... including direction.
I must admit, this also feeds my nature.
