Although I spend my time in the mountains and cannot swim, the sea captivates me. As I watched the fishing boat lights twinkling across the dark waters of the northernmost coast one night, I thought about how many traditions are connected to the sea. Tales of shipwrecks and gods born from these events, gods and goddesses of the sea, superstitions shared by commercial and hobbyist fishers, and warnings to not go near the water during ghost month.
