Thanks for the share Tomas, a ton of good stuff there.

The water.......... how I miss it, my ancestors were waterman on the Chesapeake, during the summer in my youth before the bottle became my love, there were weeks when I spent almost as much time on the water then I did ashore........ something special about being on board a skiff with no one around, a feeliing of being alone with my creator and at peace with Him and the world, how I miss that!

Sobriety and spirituality thanks to AA are bringing me back to those days so long ago, although for now no longer on that skiff alone with my Creator, I now on occasion find that peace I used to find alone with God.

Tomas thank you for taking me back to those days with your share, I had not thought of those times in 30 years, it brought back the gentle roll of the skiff, the warmth of the sun with no shade to be seen for as far as one can see, the feel and smell of the breeze over salt water.

I owe this ability today to my HP who I would not have found again unless I had found AA and taken the STEPS that led me back to Him, He has led me to when I am really spiritually fit to find the occasional peace and serenity I found out on that skiff on the water.
