A Man of the Moon
Yosanoah was a man of the moon. And he knew his deck in the dark, even drunk. Very, very rarely would he ever come across an unfamiliar board in the boat he built. After all, he hauled those boards upon his back. Hauled them up out of a forest and all upon his back - he drug them over hills to be built into a boat. So, as I say, he knew the wood, he knew the weight, he knew the boat and he was sure of his way, even drunk, in the dark, on a water rocked by waves. And he went slowly in a storm but he was certain. And in a calm, when he went quickly, he went surely, just as surely and as certain as before.
