Feared by Sailors Loved by My Mother ~ Garment Dyed Crewneck

Terror of the Seas ~ Still Calls Home Sundays

Ships change course at the mere mention. Ports close early. And every Sunday at four, the phone rings, and someone asks whether the terror of the deep is eating enough and wearing a coat.

• For the misunderstood one: A gift for the middle child who got blamed for everything, the brother with the reputation, and the daughter who is a legend everywhere except the kitchen table.
• Character references: Dreaded by the maritime community. Adored by exactly one woman with a casserole dish.
• Written up in: Part of Here Be Monsters, with a note from his mother.

Every crew has that one sweatshirt that ends up on every voyage, and this is the one ~ a Comfort Colors garment-dyed crewneck with a cotton face over cozy fleece, a relaxed fit with a rolled-forward shoulder and that broken-in feel from the very first wear ~ made for bonfires on the beach, chilly harbor mornings and plotting the next adventure
