I have been working diligently to create the life I enjoy and to me, Is worth living. Being on the water full-time is no easy feat.
Beyond charted waters, where ocean meets horizon, dwells Ocean's Ancient Sentinel. A creature of profound wisdom, its mist-and-shadow form shimmers with deep-sea hues, its vast wings woven from sea spray and dawn's fleeting light. This great dragon is the ocean's silent keeper, its breath the wind, its heart the tide. Through its ancient gaze, it holds the memory of countless voyages—sensing both joyful departures and the sudden terror of squalls, the strain of timbers, and the cold silence of a ship's final descent.
When squalls lash, the ship shudders, and sailors brace against the crushing wind and blinding deluge. Primal dread threatens, but instinct and will fiercely prevail as every soul pulls together through the long, dark hours. The Sentinel, an extension of the sea itself, shares their defiance and vulnerability. In that fury, sailors find an inexplicable calm, glimpse guiding lights in the depths, and feel a deep, resonant hum pervade the timbers—an ancient reassurance from the Sentinel, bolstering their spirits and guiding them through the tempest's heart.
Every farewell whispered from a dock, every tear shed for a sailor gone, every dream carried on the currents finds an echo in the Dragon's immense spirit. Its breath is carried by the trade winds, sometimes heard by lonely watchmen as a sudden, inexplicable wistfulness. Its essence is the very salt that burns a sailor's eyes in a gale, or the mist that clings to desolate shorelines. It carries the echoes of every lost soul, every forgotten journey, every longing glance cast across the waves.
Yet, this profound knowing is not a burden, but a wisdom anchoring the ocean's vastness. The Sentinel, in its eternal watch, inspires reverence for the depths and respect for fleeting, brave spirits. Its presence, tinged with poignant beauty, offers silent comfort to those who understand the sea's true heart—a magnificent guardian whispering tales of courage, resilience, and endless wonder.
