"There is a port of no return, where ships may ride at anchor for a little space.

And then some starless night the cable slips leaving an eddy at the mooring place…

Gulls vear no longer, Sailor rest your oars. No tangled wreckage shall be washed ashore"

Leslie Nelson Jennings Lost Harbor

Shipmate Feindt rest your oars!
