The sea never changes

The sea never changes

Oh wise sailors, the years roll by, and the waves remain the same, the sea never changes.

We take our boats and ships to the ends of the earth, but the sea never changes.

Our clothes have become more than a tool, it's a fashion statement, but the sea never changes.

We prepare with the latest technology, everything wired and live, but the sea never changes.

Materials made for space, the strength and flexibility, but the sea never changes.

Creature comforts abound, there's not an appliance on board not to be found, but the sea never changes.

The season change, and the weather becomes foul, just turn the thermostat around, but the sea never changes.

Are we wise or simple fools, to think that these latest trinkets will pull you through, but the sea never changes.

Does our money and ego's replace the years of practice, lessons and miles of experience, but the sea never changes.

We slip into the sea with our dreams of master and commander, but the sea never changes.

Woe betide the modern fashion sailor, where are your ocean skills, the Ipad wasn't created by waves, but the sea never changes.

Hone your skills, practice until you bleed, your mind and your muscles, because the sea never changes.

Learn the signs, they haven't changed in history, they too will teach you true, because the sea will never change.
