Thank you both for your comments. I know it's not stellar writing, but it is a piece that is rather special to me.
I was one of the last people to speak to the fellow who inspired this story. He was on his way back to his boat after checking out of the country and stopped to speak to me and my mother as we were watching satellite loops of weather systems coming off Africa. After Ivan passed we heard that his family had arrived on the island. He had gone missing and hadn't made his port of destination in South America. From what we knew of his course he'd have been in the middle of Ivan as the storm was increasing from a Cat 3 to Cat 4. I've felt partially guilty for years and have wondered if I could have done or said anything differently that would have made him reconsider leaving when he did.
A ketch with a centerboard? What is this madness? IS the boat based off the likeness I wonder?
Ending:
Right in the feels.
I like this piece very much. It really got me deep.

The boat was a real boat that most certainly was a ketch and had a swinging keel. At least, I remember it as a ketch.

Thank you. I wrote this mostly as therapy to help grieve. It's very flawed and I know I could do far better now. But having written it right after 5 years of barely typing a word, it's not terrible either.

Just seems odd. Ketch's are usually larger and almost exclusively blue water. Bigger ships and ocean going ships tend to avoid unfixed keels. Just seems a might odd to me.

It was odd, I'll grant you.

Still, a good story. To bad there aren't more sailing ponies :
How did you know to. Title the title of my irl( in real life)name
Well, he's not entirely correct. A Batpony currently reciding in California as a human will find a certain otter has written him a fitting tribute. Rest in peace Wind Jammer.
