Polaris in Lion's Head, Georgean Bay

This is beautiful Georgian Bay with the Lion's Head light house in the Foreground. The point of land in the back ground is 2 miles away. At night, this light can be seen from 10 miles away.

Below is the First Mate aboard Polaris on dry dock after haul out.

Here I am beside Polaris in Lion's Head Marina.

Below is one of the main docks in the marina. Polaris's slip is towards the end of it.

Launch date is May 21 in Lion's Head. The skipper and the first mate are looking forward to a great summer on the water.

Walt Whitman... AFTER THE SEA-SHIP

AFTER the sea-ship, after the whistling winds,

After the white-gray sails taut to their spars and ropes,

Below, a myriad myriad waves hastening, lifting up their necks,

Tending in ceaseless flow toward the track of the ship,

Waves of the ocean bubbling and gurgling, blithely prying,

Waves, undulating waves, liquid, uneven, emulous waves,

Toward that whirling current, laughing and buoyant, with curves,

Where the great vessel sailing and tacking displaced the surface,

Larger and smaller waves in the spread of the ocean yearnfully
flowing,

The wake of the sea-ship after she passes, flashing and frolicsome
under the sun,

A motley procession with many a fleck of foam and many fragments,

Following the stately and rapid ship, in the wake following.
