Mason Brown

I met Mason on the 70-foot schooner Dirigo.  It was bound for Mexico, but I got off in San Diego.  Dolphins swam off the bow.  We sailed through a gale and at least 10,000 red jellyfish.  There were two captains, father and daughter.  Her name was Captain Morgan.  She had a little boy, and with him, that meant the boat had three generations sailing on it.  Mason and another one of the crew, Laura, partnered up on that trip.  One day we all got into the dingy and surfed the boat through the breakers and got all wet.  The sun was setting, and there were blues and pinks.  I have a fond memory of Mason picking Laura up and spinning around in the surf.    After bouncing around Mexico for a bit, they made their way up to Orcas Island, where Mason was from, but now they are in Hawaii helping to prepare another schooner for another trip.  In March of 2020, I asked them if they had some songs and a tinyboat up in Orcas, and these are what they sent.  Below are some words from him in March 2020.  Find him @thisisnosam
