The Yachtsman

In all it’s newly shingled glory,
The Edgartown Yacht Club.
I love the simple E.Y.C. over the office door.

As someone who is not a member
and has only appreciated the landmark
for it’s exterior
I wanted to edit it down to the iconic elements.

New England cedar
shiny copper weathervane
flag snapping to attention
masts at the ready
the yachtsman scanning the horizon
and the lantern softly glowing to guide his way home.
