SEA-FEVER
I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by, And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking, And a grey mist on the sea's face and a grey dawn breaking. I must down to the seas again, forthe call of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied; And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the seagulls crying. I must down to the seas again to the vagrant gypsy life, To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover, And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.
By John Masefield (1878-1967)

Charter, Sail, Repeat: new ventures and old favorites in the Greek Isles
By Zuzana Prochazka
On our first day, we sailed southwest nearly 50 miles 011 a nice beam reach, winding through Kolpos Idras, or the Hydra Gulf.

The harbor turned ______ to be a mix of private yachts, commercial boats and fishing craft, and as we were looking round I happened to notice black clouds _____ the horizon.
