These meditations offer waypoints for readers on their own journeys. "These poems of the sea begin with a school girl's fascination for 'the blue sea holding captive all the land' and end as the seasoned sailor learns that 'even the old charts/ can't navigate the wild shoals of your heart.' Along the way we are shipmates through days of fishing, sailing, loving, and losing as Hughes navigates the lure, lore, and loneliness of a sea that is both natural force and metaphor.
