History of Art

A Dutch Vessel in a Strong Breeze (1670) by Willem van de Velde the Younger. Such pictures were popular in seventeenth-century Holland because they were exciting, but they were also a reminder of the dangers encountered by the hundreds of mariners who were an important part of the country’s prosperity.

An angry tide surges around two small transport boats heading for disaster under a stormy sky. The crew of the kaag, desperate to avoid collision with the fast approaching smalschip, have released the horizontal spar to take the wind out of the mainsail. This way, the vessel will slow and – with luck – pass safely behind the smaller craft. A smaller open boat heads towards them, two men pointing at the impending catastrophe. The sideways sweep of the three vessels and their converging diagonal lines strengthen the tension. A weak beam of sunlight illuminates the sail of the kaag; it highlights the drama but, together with the flag still flying at the masthead, perhaps also suggests a ray of hope in a pitiless sea.

Sailing isn't always sailing. Sometimes it's unexpected boat work (engine sputtering/stopping) so your whole leave-early morning plan goes belly up because you're waiting for the charter techs to come fix things (again). Then lighter winds today meant, getting to the mooring field at Trellis Bay required motoring...first come, first serve moorings only. No snorkeling stop at the Dogs. 😢 (Had we left when intended, we'd have had plenty of time to sail *and* stop.)

But we got an open mooring at Trellis, did some snorkeling off the boat to a reef nearby, and are relaxing with cheese and salami (and I made a lime-mango juice-prosecco drink for myself). Plans include checking out Aragorn's Studio and eating dinner at the Loose Mongoose!
