As the intentions of this introduction is as such, My name is Sarah Ann Stevenson and I am 27 years old. I am originally from Ohio, and my first passion was horses and painting, sculpture and books. I moved all around and thereby, arrived in San Francisco, California. This is where my life began a year ago, Mother's Day:
I was brought for the first time, to boats, the ocean, to harbors and to the rest of the runnings of the world. I had been looking for so long for what pulled my heart and I have found: The rhythm and the drag and pull; I had found the substantiality, the groundedness I so for long sought. Is there not, nothing beyond the completeness of the sea?The godliness for what we so long have been taught?
How I can wax and wane over boats! I love everything about them and everything they are about. The lore, the myth, the vastness, the fearsomeness, the freeness, the superstition, all the imperative knowledge required--which are all that connect you to the ground--the weather, the currents, the tides, the constellations, the wind, the biology, ecology, and these empirical gains.
There is a saying that God doesn't count the days spent on the sea.

Oyster is my cat and Pantalaimon is my sailboat.
Hello to all that have come across my path, whether it be by history or by accident. I am very grateful to have you here. As this is the first chapter of my journey, this site and my professionalism are quite juvenile. However, as the currents take me further, I hope to accomodate the insistence and fortitude of my fates, if only with the constistency of the tides: two steps forward and one step back.

I have never done any of my jouneys like this before: with foresight and planning; I am setting myself up to succeed.
One, the action I hope to proceed with, is to sail as far as I can: to the ends of the earth, as they say. By nature the end of the earth remains circular and will only bring it back to the beginning and most definitely, and by nature, and not again, to the end.
