It was full steam ahead for the sailor and his schooner.  After such a horrific rain storm, the ocean's waves suggested considerably smooth seas ahead.  Navigating his water-borne vessel gave him a sense of independence.  His firm ivory uniform not only provided him with the comforting appearance of an angel,  but included several celestial qualities.  Religiously, he continued carefully recording his distance and his magnetic bearing, as he voyaged.  He reflected back to early navigation prior to the integration of a ship's compass.  He remembered his grandfather determining his heading by sighting particular landmarks while observing certain celestial bodies.  Evan looked down at his shiny modern black shoes and was thankful for his avant-garde compass.  He felt secure with his new navigational instrument and persevered towards his plotted course.  Gliding along the peaceful Atlantic, his sails swayed heavenly in the breeze.  He kept a golden eye on his spars and masts.  The ever so tall, vertical arrangement was mesmerizing.  The magnetized pointer of his compass, pointed an erect South, in which he was confident would ultimately bring him to the island he had conceptualized.  It was at that point, an abounding rainbow appeared and he knew how ever long the length of his journey, he would enjoy every breathe.  He vigilantly proceeded in rolling up the length of his crisp white, salty sleeves.
