Oh you pretty thing
No matter how many apps, and services one checked, the weather of any coastal planet always found a way to surprise anyone. People had been sailing for longer than there had been space flight. Pamarthe, Kattada, Corellia, sailing popped up all over the galaxy. And it was brought to so many worlds for so many people to enjoy. Tourists even made trips to the oceanic worlds. Brooke couldn't really argue with them.
It had become that romantic thing… Taking a boat, with the people you liked, and visit a tropical island where there were hammocks, sea shells, and frozen drinks, powered only by the wind. Living off the sea, harvesting fish, cooking right on the boat, and sleeping under a starlit sky with just the sounds of the winds on the sea, the waves lapping against the boat.
Or others who found the sea in the challenges its provided, taking the boat, and racing against others, exploring the planet from a new perspective. As a Witch of the Blue Coral Divers Clan, she was just at home on the sea, and as a Blubreen hybrid, she was equally at home under the sea.
But today? No, today she was part of a small race. She came home regularly to Pamarthe to race among her peers, some friends from before, some friends from now. Unlike her powered watercraft, the Discovery, a sailing vessel with the name reminiscent of why people sailed in the beginning, remained at port in one of the archipelagos. She was racing… well, that was the intent.
It was a bit of a small marathon race, about 5 kilometers one way, from the starting gate off the dock, down and around one of the small little cays, and back to the club. The winners were going to get a it of a trophy, some Port in the Storm, and bragging rights.
That is, if there was a winner… Now the wind was gone. And if they were going to stay in the race, they had to just see what they could do, and that didn't include using any engine. There were a few boats all caught in the same doldrum, as they'd been fighting for the gusts as the wind died. Her crew had moved to put the sails right, and now came the waiting, and searching.
From the wheel of the boat, she could see a few others nearby. "You all are going to let me know when you see breeze right?"
