small boat of such sweet sorrow...

To a land-locked mammalian such as myself, there is a wistful and romantic pull to the idea of a life at sea. The open water, the freedom to follow the wind, the charm of small harbors, all tickle my fantasy as a life of dreams.

Teshka stands at my side and reads my mind as I drift with such musings. Of course, her view of of the nautical life is a little different from my own. As she foresees the boredom and drudgery and endless chores ahead she chants: "Work work work", "clean clean clean", "cook cook cook", "care care care"...
