Eating my Cake

[Marlene Anne Sassaman]

Afterall, what good is having cake if you can't eat it? Geepers wheepers, It's not like I'm asking for a million bucks. Rather, I already have a decent boat. No, it's not the Queen Mary or even a Mahe 36 catamaran with all the amenities. It is a seemingly sturdy, tank looking barge of a trimaran. SPRAY is just what I was asking for a 35 foot tri with an inboard diesel. To be alone at sea, to sail into an unknown harbor inhaling through all my senses the wonderment of a totally foreign shore.

That's just the cake. For the icing I want a romantic rendevous with my mate after he throws me a line from the dock, helps tie SPRAY up then join me below for a soothing glass of cabarnet. Sweet dreams are made of this. Who am I to disagree. I will travel the world and the seven seas, everybody's looking for something...............Oops, somehow I drifted off into the inspiring lyrics of Stevie Nicks. Didn't mean to plagarize, just enjoying a tender moment as I plan my first upcoming offshore cruise without
