A small, tense little man goes on a solo sailboat ride to a beautiful sunset view. With the shoreline ahead, he pushes the hull of the little boat across the sand up to edge of the shore. He leaves, then comes back to the boat holding the mast. He puts the mast in the boat and then rigs the sail to the boom. Stepping back with his hands on his hips, he looks at the boat as a whole. Pushing the boat in the water, he hops in it, and puts down the tiller and rudder.
The little man has trouble settling into the boat as the wind pushes him forward, flapping the sail around. He pulls in the sail confidently and turns the boat to go towards the harbor. He pulls in the sail even more as the wind picks up, and leans over the side of the boat to keep balance. Getting into the harbor, there are a bunch of moored boats floating around. The man, focusing on keeping his balance, does not see a boat in front of him, and nearly hits it. Luckily he shoves the tiller to the left of him to get away just in time. Now, he has to keep a better look out of all the boats and weave around them through the harbor. 
Picking up more speed, the man gets past the boats. Suddenly, a school of fish start jumping out of the water next to his sailboat. He looks at them and smiles, gaining more and more confidence as he gets closer to the mouth of the bay. The sailboat approaches the narrow opening of the bay by a big stretch of land. The man slowly turns around a little piece of land sticking out, struggling to balance himself with the boat as waves splash over the side. He finally enters the open water. He sails deeper into the bay and then points the boat into the wind, which stops it from moving. He stares at the beautiful sky against the rippling water.
