Eerie Stillness

“To be truly challenging, a voyage, like a life, must rest on a firm foundation of financial unrest. Otherwise, you are doomed to a routine traverse, the kind known to yachtsmen who play with their boats at sea... "cruising" it is called. Voyaging belongs to seamen, and to the wanderers of the world who cannot, or will not, fit in. If you are contemplating a voyage and you have the means, abandon the venture until your fortunes change. Only then will you know what the sea is all about.” Sterling Hayden in 1963.

When isolated in a sea of eerie stillness under endless Alaskan twilight, its hard not to contemplate such thoughts. Sterling Hayden seems to have a way of turning upside down the priorities in your life. I had previously used a quote from the section that immediately follows the quote above in his book Wanderer (you can see the post here).

This is a single shot with minimal editing taken hand held while at anchor on S/V BOB in Chapin Bay. South East Alaska. USA.
