Captain Rays Log Day 7: Takes three weeks of steady wind to become a natural course
The ocean doesn't reshape its floor in a single tide. Remember this as you adjust your inner compass toward new horizons. Maritime wisdom teaches that it takes roughly three weeks of consistent sailing for a crew to fully adapt to a new vessel's rhythms and quirks.
This isn't to say you won't feel the shift in your sails before then. You will, particularly when you trim them daily toward your chosen star. Begin with one constellation, one true bearing.
Each sunset, visualize your ship anchored in that distant harbor you've marked on your chart.
Many navigators find it simpler to watch other vessels and imagine how those captains might benefit from these navigation principles. Resist this drift. Chart your own waters first. Set sail on this voyage without doubting whether the winds will find you.
Let the journey unfold naturally, like the tide that needs no permission to rise.
A new chart in your mind's eye is like dropping anchor in unexplored waters. Mark the spot, study the currents, then trust the ocean's ancient rhythms to guide you. You'll discover that the same forces that carry every vessel across the seas will carry you toward your chosen port.
Your steady breath may carry you truer than any tempest.
