"I MUST go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,

And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,

And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,

And a gray mist on the sea's face, and a gray dawn breaking..."

They that go down to the sea in ships...

He went home embraced by the sea he loved.We should all hope for such fine an end.

My prayers for his family and friends. ;)

Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!

From The Book of Common Prayer, circa 1785, for the Purpose of Burial at Sea...

WE therefore commit his body to the deep, to be turned into corruption, looking for the resurrection of the body (when the sea shall give up her dead,) and the life of the world to come, through our Lord Jesus Christ; who at his coming shall change our vile body, that it may be like his glorious body, according to the mighty working whereby he is able to subdue all things unto himself.

Amen.

Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?

Thank you for sharing this with us, Charity. My prayers go to Hans' family and his crew members.

I wonder if one of the most important steps on our journey is the one in which we throw away the map.
