hence the ways of men part: if you wish to strive for peace of soul and pleasure, then believe; if you wish to be a devotee of truth, then inquire.
~Nietzsche
57.270826, -133.631931: Near Cape Fanshaw, Frederick Sound and Stephen’s Passage, Five Finger Island and the oldest lighthouse in Alaska during a 2017 cruise aboard m/v Saoirse, a twin-screw 56-foot Canoe Cove, home and adventurous conveyance through a half-dozen winters. Slowly transiting big water in a very busy area for being a middle-of-nowhere part of Alaska. With odd currents, chunks of ice originating near Tracy Arm bobbing around, and heavy traffic including the cruise ships, hailing on the VHF then passing with such haste seems Saoirse was tied to a tree stump.
