"Sail away, sail away with me
I don't have a ship
But we could get one easily
Drift away, drift away with me
On the raft we'll make of memories
On an ocean we can call forever more"

Seth knows he shouldn't have these clearly escapist thoughts he's been having. He tried this once and it didn't exactly work out. He lost his girlfriend, his best friend, and a boat over the course of a week and he ended up in Portland, Oregon of all places. When thinking about every Summer of his life, that summer in Portland ranks as one of the most boring he can ever think of.

When it came down to it, he hadn't actually lost Ryan as a result of his impromptu trip but he might as well have. Ryan left him. Last year he wasn't completely sure why he ran away. There were definite "I want out" feelings he had had but the loss of Ryan should not have impacted him as much as it did. He had Summer. For the most part, Summer was a good girlfriend. A great girlfriend, even, and he left her back in Newport.

Not four months later and those longing daydreams of hitting the high seas are returning. The difference being, his passenger has changed sexes. Now he wants to escape to Tahiti with Ryan. They'd have a great time. He's done the research and he knows Ryan wants to travel at heart. He wants to be an architect. Ryan can build and plan to build his buildings anywhere in the world. Architects weren't exactly a dime a dozen. Or maybe they were. He wasn't quite sure what that saying meant or how it pertained to his current thought process.

Either way, his feelings for Ryan ran deep. Maybe not as deep as the ocean but hey, that developed with time.

Despite it all, Seth still doesn't have a boat. Selling the thing for bus fare to Portland doesn't really rank in one of Seth's proudest moments. But nowadays. Now when Summer hates him and flaunts nu-Seth in his face every chance she gets and when Marissa dates skeevy gardeners and his mother holds just a smidgen of a tighter leash, now is when he contemplates setting sail with Ryan.

If only he had that damn boat.
