A fine post!
And you can be forgiven for cross-posting to us since it's sailing
related.
Of course everyone knows that Odin "send[s] the wind and turn[s] the
tide!"

My thanks for the acceptance of the cross-post, I merely worked the reply
button and hence caught you folk as well.

On more sailing/Asatru related matters, what is interesting is not only that
Odin is seen as having much to do with sailing in the Northern Tradition,
but also sailors of the region would call upon Ran, and Aegir, and even Thor
at times, all depending upon the effect they wanted to achieve. A great
seafaring folk, and I hope to one day take part in the construction of a
Viking age ship and sail up the Parramatta River to Parramatta Park for a
gathering. Now that would be a sight to see. Well, a few more years yet
before such a thing can be done... but it's good to have a goal. (BTW, for
those who are interested, Parramatta is a suburb of Sydney, Australia).
