Tacking Home
Sketched from an old black and white photo
taken while waiting on the dock as Dad
tacked his way home after a morning sail
in a very light breeze that lifted the long
once dark uncut hair off the back of my neck.
A memory.

I love this, Tony, the sketch and the memory. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI assume "tacking" is a sailing term?
Thank you. Tacking is sailing diagonally back and into the wind to sail against the direction the wind is blowing.
