Skyelark 2 - Sunday, December 5

Sunday, December 5
With less than 500 nm to go, I find myself wondering what the takeaways from
this adventure will be. Of course, it’s more than just checking a box on one’s
bucket list, or a kind of endurance test. We want these unique experiences
to prove somehow trasformative or transcendental. At least that’s the hope.
I know ii will have something to do with the enormity and majesty of this
ocean and its endless rolling seas, the silent, vast night sky with its
starry reminder of an incomprehensible universe. But there’s also a keen
human element in the honing of strangers into an efficent sailing cohort and
a shared significat task to accomplish. My quesion is what of all this will
remain? What might influence future decisions or life goals in my remaining
years? I know that only time will tell. Things need to settle. I will be
keeping close watch.
