Shifting Sands 2

 

The frost lies thick and crisp upon Stargazer's deck. Billows of sea fog delay the dawn.

A bone penetrating chill pervades.


Whilst Stargazer's spring awakening continues.

Today's task is the removal of the saildrive.

Our start is auspicious. Oil drains clear and green, from the drive. Last season's shaft seal seat re-sleeve has held.

The sun climbs higher. Our world shrinks, to encompass only the dictates of the job in hand. We warm to our task. Reprieved from reports, of the shifting sands in world events, for a few tranquil hours.
