The Red Witch
 This is the name of the schooner sailing out of Port Clinton, Ohio.
Your point of embarkation for your tall ship adventure is at the
foot of the Docks, on the mighty Maumee River in the heart of Toledo.
Your bearing is north-by-northeast, toward Lake Erie.
The I-280 bridge lifts its steel arms high in salute as you gently slip by.
Gasoline motorists stop and contemplate time as your
wooden sailing ship's tall mast slowly parts the  Interstate's
parking-lot causeway. Turnabout is fair play.
During your voyage you see children swimming, old fishermen,
people walking on water, historic buildings, Big Lucas, (the huge cargo crane)
the stacks of the BP refinery, the tubes of Nabisco, the mountain ranges of
loose coal and tarpaulined road salt, the fish, the turtles, the birds.
The visceral images of that cool, misty freshwater on your skin.
The warm sunshine upon your face. The crisp breezes through your hair.
Not bad booty for a three-hour cruise. Eh, matey?
