The little story

Sailor’s Rest

Sailor's Rest is a hipped harbor cottage with a sailboat tied up at the back and a well-traveled suitcase waiting by the door. It is the kind of place where the map gets folded, the bags get unpacked and the next route gets planned over tea.

Skipper is the shore bird who keeps the house. Every morning Skipper unfolds a map, reads it upside down and decides that every route eventually leads to a good story. Skipper is usually right.

Pull a chair onto the step, say hello to the gull overhead and plan the next trip. The rest of the world can wait until the tide turns.
