There are many boats on the ocean. Some of these are small boats, big enough for one fisherman and then there are the larger vessels, such as ocean liners carrying hundreds of passengers. All are at the control of the tides and the stars and the crossing is not guaranteed.
Some of these boats will last an age, they are the friends of the ocean, built well to work with the water and blow with the wind. The Ocean is in control and the vessels sail and reach their destination with its permission alone. There is not a boat that can control the water, the ocean is the constant thing, the boats come and go.
The ocean’s soul is made up of many who have crossed it. The souls that live in the ocean, those that work with the ocean or encounter it, add their experience to its great depth and vastness.
I think the ocean is a lot like life, we get through it with luck and permission, not by trying to control it.

I spend half of my life on the waves, a sailor. It is my job, I cook and clean on a ship. I’ve been drawn to the sea all of my life. It’s the most awe inspiring and respect commanding life force on this earth. A living, breathing god like entity with the power to give life and take it away. It’s an honour to sail upon it.

Thanks for your comment. I hope it resonated a little with someone who works with the sea. I was in a storm at sea a few years ago and really felt at the mercy of the waves.
