We make our way

Against the wind and the waves, we can complain, give up and follow the mob
“Leaving is easy with your eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see”

We may have a stop in a safe harbor ?
Waiting for the wind to change?

Or we can change ourselves
Stop talking about weather forecast and trim the sails !

“Nobody did that”? or “Somebody forgot this”?
We are somebody, I am nobody
When I change myself, I change the World around me

The good schooner brig “Tres Hombres” is now making good progress to La Palma
Jumping on the waves like a wild horse
“We have a contract together: I give here wind, she give me miles” (cf Bernard Moitessier)
