It has occurred to me that my boat and my blog's namesake Mermaid bear a striking resemblance to one another. The Mermaid's long and un-tamed tendrils of red hair have the same hue and overwhelmingness of the bottom paint covering LaLeLu below her waterline.
The blue/green of the Mermaid's scales resembles the color of the water LaLeLu floats upon. According to folklore, Mermaids would fall in love with Sailors and lure them out to sea. The Sailors, intoxicated by their beauty and allure, were powerless to resist. Longing for the companionship of a Mermaid, some Sailors have spent a lifetime searching for just one moment with such a creature, but, as it can be with love, catching a Mermaid can be elusive. Suspended just below the water's surface, but hidden from view to those above, the Mermaid waits and watches. Could that be a face I see in the reflection under my vessel in the photo above as she is suspended above the water? or, could it be that my boat is a Mermaid, and she is calling me, enticing me, to venture off to her dominion?
