Mercury dip

Mercury dip
lightning horizon
south of 65
blue blue ice
penguin palace
an ocean expanse
under all God's rain
hear the boat creak
with the fury
ride, yes we ride
the tempest
with shredded sail
and frayed line
visions of Magellan
edge of existence
salted fish and wine

I can't imagine being on the big wide Pacific ocean circumventing the Earth on such a small boat. It seems insane - but if he hadn't started the expedition (he died before completed) - where would we be today? Something to think about. Explorers were either extremely brave or insane! Good poem Ocean. BTW - was this inspired by your profile name?
