The d love letterDear Catherihere isn’t an hour of my life without you in it.I mend the boats，test them and all the while the memories e in like the tide.I wasthinking today of when we were young and you left here for a biggerworld.I was a lot more scared than I would admit.I fought my fear bytelling mylf you’d e baeday and trying to think of the firstthing I’d say to you when I saw you again.I must have tried out 100possibilities.What did I finally say？Not much.My mouth wouldn’twork，except to kiss you.And when you said“I’m here to stay”，that said it all.Well，I’m doing it again.I keep imagining what I’dsay to you if somehow you came back.

The third love letterTo all the ships at a and all the ports of call.To my family and to allfriends and strahis is a message and a prayer.The message isthat my travels taught me a great truth.I already had what everyone isarg for and few ever finds：The one person in the world who I wasborn to love forever.A person like me，of the Outer Banks and the blueAtlantic mystery.A person ri simple treasures lf-made，lftaught；a harbor where I am forever home.And no wind or trouble or evena little death knock down this hou.The prayer is that everyohe world know this kind of love and be healed by it.If my prayer is heard，then there will be an erasing of all guilt and all regret and ao all anger.Plea，God.Amen.
