This is in the inner harbour of Victoria, B.C. Rumour has it that this vessel used to belong to the CEO of Costco. Supposedly it costs $250,000.00 to fill it with fuel which will net you 5,000 miles and all you need is a crew of 10

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll,

I am the master of my fate:

I am the captain of my soul.

Invictus !!

This shot was taken in the recent visit to Kolkata, India. It was a rainy day, I was sitting at the balcony watching people go by. Every day I see this gentelman going to work, rain or shine it dosen't bother him. When people stand under the shade , I have seen him not stopping and walk by.

He is invictus, he is the captain of his soul !!!

Life is full of twists and turns. Of that there is no doubt. The question is whether or not you will meet the curves that will inevitably come…unbowed and unafraid. Mastery and captainship are within your grasp and they are the key to the revelation of your greatness.

Enjoy the moment !!!!
