A real man thinks about a woman forever. But at sea, he thinks about it a hundred times over. Sea and woman alike, so the man pulls up and so it's both. Marine element, like a woman - capricious and unpredictable. Bottomless sea, the boundless mysteries of women.
Sea incomplete without a coast - man did not take place if he does not love ...

Eugene and Grizzell

Sea - the mirror of the world. Perhaps it is conceived by God, not to divide and unite people, not everything about this guess. Why else would people opened new bank? Small world if it is full of love. That's about it whispers to the sea at night.
Grizzell Zhenya waiting in port with a bouquet of daisies. Wind from the Sahara dried tears unbidden woven into the hair copper red-hot platinum sunlight, from which copper light from within, caressed his knees. No matter what may come to port in the world "Kruzenstern, Grizzell will celebrate the beloved with a bouquet of daisies and chamomile if at this point the planet is not growing, not growing, and will not grow, Grizzell will still meet Zhenya flowers, like daisies. Because Zhenya - Romachkin. Yevgeny - Russian, a native of tiny closed town of Sverdlovsk region. Grizzell - German.
For Grizzell Romachkin - Zhenya, Zhenya, Zhekunya ... (And sure as anything else, but as we do not know, and know they should not.)

Not every man on earth at any port in the world meets the woman with flowers. And what a woman!
Sea for Zhenya Romashkina, had never seen, and in dreams, began with the book Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea. " Zhenya was seven years old. The book was published and is well illustrated in black and white drawings. "Emptiness" in the drawings a first grader Romachkin painted over with colored pencils. Especially good for Romashkina left the boat the old man and the sea itself. Blue pencil, scribbled, but because it was replaced by green, yellow, black and blue ... Zhenya did not know that the sea can be different, depending on the vagaries of the elements and sentiments of a man who represents this element on the canvas.
, "The Old Man and the Sea" Romachkin not read so far - first intuitively felt fear and resentment of the old man, then swept the affairs of a growing person, in life entered a new adventure and books. "The Old Man and the Sea" I told Romachkin at the airport of Santa Cruz, where we saw off the second shift of students, departing for home after three and a half months to go.
- Now I have books about the sea and travels more than the ship library, - said to me, Eugene. - Jules Verne, Stevenson, Sabatini, Greene, Kopecky, Pikul, Kaverin Krapivin.

Marine family dynasty. Romachkin senior BHA has already finished. On "Krusenstern" salazhonkom held practice. We seem to have met at the stages of the international regatta "Katie Sark, or in Norway, or Sweden, or Denmark ... Zhenya ran the rigging during jobs involving all hands - put and take in sail, I put on airs at the computer.
