A Prayer for Traveling

Ah to be at anchor
Hearing the waves wash the hull
Turn, turn, turning with wind and tide
For those of you out and about sailing, paddling or rowing, here is a Kwakiutl prayer for you:

Look at me, Old Man, that the weather made by you may spare me; and pray, protect me that no evil may befall me while I am traveling on this sea, Old Man, that I may arrive at the place to which I am going. Great Supernatural One, Old Man.
