Location: Rodney Bay, St. Lucia
What a contraption this sailing vessel! Put it into the salty sea, and she floats righteously. Today was a day of feverish laughter, a day of grandeur, a day of indulgences (not to be confused with those granted by the church.) On this day, sailors got naked and showered! There was no unwillingness or savagery but cleanliness. Fine odorous sailors of the lord, may he rest so sweetly in the sky! Some of us got greedy- downright fiendish- gorging on the silver savory waters. I can’t recall if I was one of them, a blank stare with nothing but the rush of water on their minds. There was motoring afterward.
