Boats & Ships : AMANDA HALL (Born 1956)
THE BAREFOOT BOOK OF STORIES FROM THE SEA
HE HEARD THE SPLASH OF OARS, AND THERE WAS THE FERRYMAN
THE YOUNG BRAVE CUT THE ROPE, GRASPED THE PADDLE IN HIS STRONG HANDS AND STEERED SOUTH
SOMETIMES, IN THE GREY MISTS OF DAWN OR FADING DUSK, FOLK WOULD SEE HIM KNEELING IN HIS BOAT UPON THE SWELL; HE SEEMED TO BE TALKING TO A SEAL WHO OFTEN SWAM NEAR THE SHORE
ALL DAY LONG, SEA WIND ROAMS OVER ISLANDS AND SEAS, THROUGH FOREST AND PLAIN, DRIVING HERDS OF TIMID DEER TOWARDS THE WATERHOLES
