When the season is over, the next one will soon follow and things will slowly and gradually adjust accordingly. As some leaves fall off the branches, other leaves grow out. While other flowers die, new buds are opening up. Everything according to seasons, and each thing functioning according to their respective appointed time.
Those of you chosen to sail, your season is at hand. In time you will be sailing in the high seas, so even now prepare hard, strengthen your sailboat, enhance your faculties and sharpen your skills; for your course could probably traverse through harsh spots in the seas that could be developing far ahead in the oceans which you may have not yet gone through before -- especially to the new sailors.
Probably due to very thick fogs in those difficult areas, there could be almost zero visibility even in daytime making fellow sailors hardly see and recognize each other and could result in collision. Therefore make sure beforehand that your navigational instruments are functioning fully well.
Be very skillful with the sails and the rudder. The sea current in those unusual difficult areas is strong and flows opposite the general direction of the dominant wind that propels your sailboats. Therefore you need to master beforehand special navigational skills intended for such conditions as these.
In traversing through these harsh spots, you can never hurry. Sometimes the wind significantly slows down causing your boat to be drifted backward by the strong opposing sea current. So stay alert and be aware always of the surroundings so that you won't be disoriented from your true course, or collide with other boats that may also be drifting in the area. You may suffer delay in your voyage, but if you are prudent and skillful, you will still be able to reach your destination safely.
Be wise in preparing your victuals. Make sure you have just enough for the long voyage. Also make few allowances for possible delays at sea. Too much allowance is unnecessary. On the other hand, inadequate provision could starve you at sea in case of delays.
Remember, this voyage is not a race against time or in competition with other sailors. It is a voyage that attempts to take on a new course and hopefully with stronger sailboats and with sailors of renewed integrity. It is a journey towards a nation's destiny where every successful voyage builds over the success of another. It is a survival voyage that requires every sailor's honesty and needs every crew's hands. It is a journey that could only succeed if the reference for every direction to take is from the "Faithful Compass" above.
