“This little admiral is enjoying his quiet time” explains James Christensen. “He could push the rowboat out to the water, but he’s in no hurry. He’s not lazy; just patient and he knows that eventually the tide will rise. It’s a nice day. He’s got a "cuppatea" with a little shot of fortitude and he’s enjoying the time. He’s not going to let the fact that the tide’s not in ruin his day. He went out to go boating, so he’s boating. He doesn’t need water to enjoy a day at the beach. It’s the idea of "making the best of the circumstances."
