This story has a lot of beautiful words, yet a lot of terms I didn't understand some of the boat lingo: dinghy, stern, "bail her", schooners maybe these are not all boat terms, but I still didn't understand quite a few words. In this story is a lot of nature, birds, water and shores. Maybe the point of the story is how insignificant we are compared to the world or universe. They were on a boat in the ocean. No one cared and there was no where to go. We are just a tiny, baby spec in this giant universe. But they never gave up, which was motivational. Also, man can not change nature, they are no God. They couldn't stop the birds from landing, or the waves from crashing. Man may think they have all this control over things, when really, we have none.
