Describing a port is a little like describing those kaleidoscopes you had as kids turning the end and changing the position of the little pieces of colored glass. Ports are about jobs. If you are going to sail, cruise, live in the marine world you will need some skills. The port is where the world leaves its calling card. The people, men and women who serve to operate the machinery do so with pride and dignity. Work is a good thing for the soul. Families have built assets. Generations have evolved so they don’t have to offload bulk 300-pound sacks. Efficiencies have allowed for better pay. The irony is being as one labors and looking out in San Pedro Bay at the American’s Americas cup team practicing racing in a sport that reeks of privilege, I can’t help to be thankful that I have lived in those worlds and have gained an understanding that the ports I’ve been in breathes with life and variety around the efficient machinery of commerce and has for centuries.
