His face leonine, lined and craggy,
His body lean, hardy and toughened
with sea-faring adventures.
His hair coarse, Viking-like and
unrestrained.
His beard free-flowing with an energy
of its own.
His hands weather-beaten, large and
generous.
His heart unfettered and capricious.
His character boisterous, sunny and
uninhibited!
His wisdom deep, culled from
hard living.
His voice unschooled, booming with
self-confidence.
His language colourful, peppered
with salty phrases.
His religion God-fearing, respectful
of the elements.

A free spirit,
born to tame the waves
and ride the seas!

A fisherman to the core of his being!
