Coming Home
I prefer sailboats.
Powerboats go too fast.
They leave little time for contemplating the ocean, enjoying the feeling of being “out there” and challenging the wind, waves, tide and weather to “get there” and then to “get home”
And “getting home” on the water for me is when I first spy a white speck on the distant horizon, knowing that, as I get closer, Sakonnet Light will beckon and lead me back home.
This fall, during a treacherous sail in rain, gale force winds and fog from Padenarem to Sakonnet my terror and anxiety evaporated once I recognized the hazy form of a white tower blended into a fog bank, driving rain and low clouds. It was my “home”, our beacon of safety and a reminder that once we had rounded her our little smooth harbor would welcome us. Sakonnet Light is our Mt. Rushmore- standing tall, unmovable, signaling that now we have arrived to the safety and warmth of “home”
The Lighthouse needs your continued help to assure it is sound and maintained and structurally sturdy. Scott Brown and his team and the Board work tirelessly to keep the beautiful Lady shipshape and a constant beacon for all who dream of “coming home” on the water. Now it’s our turn to send a check to continue this heroic effort and assure the Sakonnet Lighthouse will be in tip top shape in the future.
Please take a minute and contemplate how important this beautiful lighthouse is to our seaside community. It’s a symbol, a beacon, a monument to all that defines Little Compton as a place we all want to preserve and love.
So don’t be stingy.
To help preserve this iconic, wonderful symbol of what we all feel in our hearts.
