Up Anchor

Up Anchor by Diane Pool
  • Private Collection

Sluicing mud from anchor chain as their boat begins to drift free on the outbound tide,  father and son cruisers prepare to leave the anchorage,.

There is a tide in the affairs of men.

Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;

Omitted, all the voyage of their life

Is bound in shallows and in miseries.

On such a full sea are we now afloat,

And we must take the current when it serves,

Or lose our ventures.

--Julius Caesar, Brutus, Act 4
