 ===== It's a wiki - if you build it they will come… =====
-<WRAP indent>Maybe or maybe not. Our impression by mid 2021 was that learning to use our wiki editor is not as straight forward as we had hoped. The folks who have spent the most time editing the website have discovered enough small glitches and annoyances to conclude that it would be simpler for most paddlers to just email us their information (included in email or as email attachments - text docs, Word docs, jpegs, pngs, pdfs, etc.) and let us enter it into the wiki. //(We have also had problems with spammers, etc. registering on the wiki and had to disable new registrations in 2022 )// So if you do have additions for the wiki please email the information to us - [[surfskiwiki@gmail.com,dan@surfski.wiki|surfski.wiki email]]

+===== Sea-Fever =====
+By [[https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/john-masefield|John Masefield]]
+<WRAP indent>
+I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
+And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
+And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
+And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.
+<font inherit/inherit;;#ffffff;;inherit>.</font>
+I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
+Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
+And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
+And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
+<font inherit/inherit;;#ffffff;;inherit>.</font>
+I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
+To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
+And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
+And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.
