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?
