Leaving Cap Sante Boat Haven marina in Anacortes, Washington, you will see the statue of a woman dedicated to all the wives and lovers who have waited for fishermen to return from the sea.
She is holding a lantern high in one hand while resting the other on the head of her child who is clinging to her skirt. Here you can see her against the background of a partly cloudy April sky. -- Margy

Take a realistic look at life in a remote location where you make your own power, live in harmony with nature, and determine your own destiny. Read Off the Grid by Wayne J. Lutz and see how it works for a couple living in a Coastal BC float cabin.
So beautiful, Margy.

I wonder why
Some love the sky
But not the wind and rain.
I wonder, friend,
If sky will end—
It’s too much for my brain!

What a beautiful statue! It is quite a beautiful and sad tale. I hope her husband will find his way home from sea. Stunning sky watch photo!
