Like the magic of a wand
the hour glass full of sand
takes away all doubt
line running out
when my hand
makes it
flip
the speed
of the ship
logged by tight knots
is telling me lots
of what I need to know
to make this old vessel go
Very clever. And thanks for the nautical history lesson 🙂

Prachtig Peter… en ja ik zie het helemaal voor me hoe die schipper opgelucht ademhaalt als hij ontdekt weer ‘los’ te geraken en verder te mogen ….
