A Morning At Sea. Second Place in Overboard Challenge.
My father stared out in the distance, at nothing in particular. He seemed—not happy, but—content. He had the same stocky build of a bear that my grandfather did in his prime, with thick arms and broad shoulders, but he still radiated a friendly demeanor. His skin was red from the beating rays of the sun, a common occurrence. As his hard gaze focused on the horizon, mine fell from the silver hairs on his head to the salt and pepper beard he had grown a bit less than a year ago. It looked like the beard of a sailor, and I couldn’t help but feel it was a fitting look for him—but nothing like his corporate wife, my mother, sitting on a foldout chair next to him in the shade. She was smiling too, of course. I mean, who doesn’t like a nice boat ride? But she certainly didn’t look at home the way my father did.
