It is indeed true that (fortunately), the sea belongs to everyone and for everyone. We scouted out this unique photo on the web (HERE ), and had fun asking you on Facebook to come up with a caption. A so-called “flame” of comments was generated, and all kinds came in, obviously hilarious but respectful. Kudos to the helming nun who, we discovered, is from Mexico!

He wanted to be Andrea Mura
But they put her in seclusion.
Every evening, in the convent
she dreamed of sea and wind.
“Sister Cristina can sing,
And I can’t sail?”
“The seafaring language
It is not for those who wear the habit!”
In regatta, nice dilemma
easily swear

Of those in the Boot
So she, she had enough
And changed citizenship
Now she sails sovereign
With American flag!
(Eugene)
