Felix, I think I've already written something similar in another comment of your work, but I really like this beautiful blend of reality, sometimes harsh (conditions, hard work, weather...) and poetic warmth. So humane.
Greetings,

Fee, boy did I ever miss this gem when I was gone. Playing catch up today.
Loved the family feel of this write. Not just of providing for family, but of the family on the water. Often the ocean can be a lonely place but I almost felt like I was wandering down one of our neighborhoods.
Really liked this one.

My father was a shrimper and oyster harvester when not at his day job.. oystering (the best time) is in late fall and winter here... many a morning he shivered in misty fog to get the job done.

Ah, my dear friend Fee,
You're intimate with the sea.
Your verse does speak and gives us a peek
At the oceans deep mysteries.
Thanks for showing us the hard work that's required just to fill our appetite. May our hearts be grateful for the men who live and work on the sea.
Love & Light always and in all ways,

| ... and it seems to me that for such devoted, hardy and brave souls, there is no other way. I can tell that from the very bobbing of the boats on the water down in Dorset... and the ways in which the fisherman lovingly maintain their craft when ashore. It seems like there's no place like home... and the boat is their's - and lover, too! (Oops... but I expect your daughter has wised up to this by now!) Love it, Pops, Kate xx |

| The life of any sea farer is truly a hard one, and you tell this story well. And the life of the old time fisherman is probably harder than ever these days since there seem to be far less fish to catch in our ever increasing polluted seas. |
