Coda for a Captain
The tale of an old Captain sailing out to open seas for the last time on his beloved self-built boat.
His voyage is dependent on no place, time, or destination; his aim isn’t to reach any particular place, and perhaps not even to return.
Surrounded by sounds of depths, he refuses to accept what is less predictable than the winds and more frightening than the waves – growing old.
