"Salt, sea and air are we
who wander 'cross the globe,
Yet tale be told and night behold
the hour my shadow froze
Voyage set as those before
crate packing merrily,
We pushed from port forever...
Puts me in the mind for Joseph Conrad, Youth and the Sea...
"You all had something out of life: money, love - whatever one gets on shore - and, tell me wasn't the best time, that time when we were young at sea; young and had nothing, on a sea that gives nothing, except hard knocks - and sometimes a chance to feel your strength."
