it doesn't mean my journey ends,
it simply means the river bends ..."

"Sailors Confront The Green Sea"
digital collage by Mick Mather

To my brothers who have sailed across any large body of water, a dedication with tonight's theme, green, at Illustration Friday. Having spent my fair share of time upon rough and treacherous waters, a darkening sky and a pea green sea can test the metal of the best of men, especially when their waves and stinging spray hurdle the gunwales. Believe me when I tell you that there are few frights as powerful as being tossed by an angry, uncaring and unforgiving sea. To the captain brave and every adventuresome tar, a pint of rum for passing the test and Davy Jones keeps the rest!
