akej

Every boat has a story, and in sailing I dream of AkeJ.  She came to me in 2005 named Siskiwit I won her in a writing contest.  Writing was something I always wanted to do but thought deep down I had no talent.  The only time I tried a life changed.  The ocean always called to me. I sailed whenever I could but I had no way to ever own my own boat.  When I saw her picture I knew she wanted to be mine.  I had looked up the name and the meaning was too heavy for me.  I knew she wanted to carry something lighter on her stern.  It might be interesting to tell who ever reads this how it happened, what I wrote and how she came to me.  But what I really want to tell whoever is listening is what she meant to me and my son.
