Christmas morning at Franklin Point 2009

I have been here at Christmas dawn for the last 10 years. When I tell people what I'm doing they look at me like I am disturbed. This time of year my friends invite me over...Because they think I don't do well at Christmas. But I do very well. I come here to have a meaningful experience. I come to celebrate Christmas with the 299 dead sailors who were excavated from this beach since 1980. This year I picked the particular clipper ship the Coyo. 27 ships company members went down with their ship, Including the Caption, his wife and child. I read these lost souls poetry and wished them a Merry Christmas.
