Our herring craft, our trawlers, our fishing smacks as well

I dreamed of writing about an unofficial slow marathon of sea-movies and shorts I had been watching over the course of the month, most of them discovered obscurely on various streaming services. None exist in my waking life; all had some element of the weird or the speculative, mostly in low-key, low-budget ways where a sci-fi first contact was as ambiguous as the relationships between the members of a psych-rock band taking a yacht down the coast of California in the '70's. At least one of the features I loved enough to want to track down the rest of the writer-director's work. A couple of the shorts were conceptually cute and didn't do much for me as movies. Otherwise most of the day was doctor-oriented, but so has been the entire week, really.
