Bay Smokes & Salty Air: A Fisherman's Memoir

The Sweet Smell of Burning Wood and Dreams

The Blue Sky, White Smoke, and the Red Tide
The daytime sky was a brilliant sky blue. It stretched overhead a landscape dotted with fields of golden wheat. A gentle current carried the scent of freshly cut grass, and distant thunder of activity echoed from the bustling town.
