Nautical

The Helm

Hi folks, we thought we’d take a second to clear something up, and that’s what exactly is a helm. Well, it’s the entire steering mechanism of a vessel, not just the wheel which is pictured here. Hope that helps.

Nautical Traditions

Nautical traditions are meant to be handed down from generation to generation, to keep us in touch with the sea, and the awesome power of nature. It’s from there we learn to respect the world in which we live, and to better understand it.

Oceanus

Oh, titan lord of the sea, Oceanus please protect me show compassion and mercy on my nautical journey…

The sun rises

The sun rises, and it also sets, for each and every one of us. It’s what we do in-between that counts. Dare to dream big, love, laugh, and make the world a better place.

Red Skies

The early morning sunrise born from the sea bears its reddening fruit across the horizon of the oceans slowly turning the dawn red as with blood in translucent light stained with the fruit of ripened berries the nautical delight of red skies in sight…

Life’s good

Special moments are meant to be shared. They give us cause to stop and pause and know that life can be good. Enjoy these times for they pass quickly.

Who Can Sail Without the Wind

Who can sail without the wind? Who can row without oars? Who can say farewell to a friend without shedding tears? I can sail without the wind, I can row without oars, but I can´t say farewell to a friend without shedding tears. Original text: “Vem kan segla” Swedish folk song Translation: Frigga Asraaf
