I was looking at Orion out in the country last night coming out of the woods at deer camp and I started babbling to my little brother all that ocean navigation folklore.

Orion...I love those 3 pups. Memories.

I was always a Kingfish steak man myself....they'll bite at anything.

Orion's belt was always my favorite. He cheers me up every time. Folks who have not been to sea cannot appreciate that the "famous" stars are only about 20% of what the ancients were using to picture the constellations. I really treasure the good nights at sea. The bad ones too, but in a different way. I hope this comes through in the book in Brad's longing to escape to sea.
