ahoy, on the vast oceans where thoughts often remain as unuttered as the mysteries of the deep, we sailors have a tradition. before we commence anew on the morrow, we share theories, no matter how preexploratory, about what awaits us beyond the horizon. it's like seeing a duck glide on calm waters; it seems simple on the surface but beneath, there's a world of complexity, guiding us to navigate the murky waters of the unknown with hope and camaraderie.
