To New Horizons Our boat is coming in to shore. We've been here many times before. It is a safe spot for the night. We anchor just before the light Is swallowed by the hills that rise On either side and block the skies. Far overhead, one star appears And like a distant eye, it peers, Down at our craft to watch it sway Upon the tide, till break of day. The night wind brings the scent of rain. We go below and there remain Tucked in our bunks and go to sleep, Lulled by the music of the deep. With morning, skies are fresh and blue. We eat, admiring the view. Then set the sails and catch a breeze, Which carries us back to the seas That bypass this secluded bay And soon has taken us away To fine adventures we can share And new horizons, waiting there!

Dear Joyce: Thanks and it was a peaceful time on board our sailboat..........usually! We did get caught in storms, fog and once we ran over a basking shark, which was pretty exciting! Didn't hurt the shark but sure scared us! Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

BettyLou~ Ah, the peaceful serenity of sailing~ I've always referred to it as, the silence of silence-in-tow~ Makes me want to go sailing for sure~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |

Dear Marge: We used to sail every chance we had, when we lived in Portland and Seattle. I guess I'll always miss those times. Especially on Puget Sound and the straits leading to the Pacific. Love Betty Lou |
