“Seafarer” they called me. And it’s little wonder why. Forever in a swimsuit and my father’s old captain hat; always consulting an antique compass I acquired from an older kid who said she liked my flip-flops from and the opportunity to haggle was too good for a pirate to miss. On days when I wanted the younger kids to stay out of my way, I’d wear an eye patch I cut from an old canvas sail and painted black at the arts and crafts station when the counselor bent down to tie his shoe. “Seafarer” they called me, always begging to know what I carried in the cotton tote my father sent with me to camp. “Treasures, me hearties!” I’d drawl out with a smile. “Coins from Barbados! Silks from the Orient!”

Even now, my Seafarer Tote still accompanies me on errands. Some days, it’s groceries. Tools from the hardware store. Other days, shells and driftwood gleaned from the sand when I walk along the beach. I still have that old eye patch. When those perfect days from youth start to tug at my heartstrings, I hold the patch up to my face, my Seafarer Tote slung nefariously across my back, and cry, “Treasures, me hearties!” And nothing could be truer.
