The boat did not fight the sea, but rode the sea, bareback, like native Americans rode horses, nothing between horse and nature, skin-on-skin. So, too, the skin of the boat on the skin of the sea. They rode in communion, which is why the boat riding anchor had not been battered by the storm that battered the boats ashore. The boat riding anchor was like a horse let loose, before the storm come could level the barn to the ground, where stood the horse’s stall. Often, the more freedom wrested from discipline, provides for a greater chance of survival.
