The skills of the navigator are part of our Pacific Island heritage. It is the last legacy of uncounted generations of the great captains of all mankind. They have learned to steer by star horizon courses, by cloud formations, bird zones and the wave patterns broken by islands. In many areas, they enjoy greater prestige than the local village chiefs. They were men of rare, unusual and impressive talent and skills.

I really like the silhouette and all the shapes that the waves make.
It was a tough shot, with the 400 f5.6 but the light of the sunset behind was a big break so I was able to shot close to 1/1000. When I look at the image the waves seem to move....)
