To clarify: the title is excerpted from Act 1 of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. The full quote goes: "Light, seeking light, doth light of light beguile; So ere you find where light in darkness lies, Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes." It's a warning against spending too much of your life in scholarly pursuits.

Bon Voyage to the Pride of Baltimore 2
As I promised I went down to check out the "Pride of Baltimore 2" today.
Not long after I arrived the crew began to act strangely; something was up. This guy seemed to be giving orders.
They unhitched ropes, pushed away from the dock and hauled in the bumpers.
Moved out into the center of the harbor.
Raised canvas, turned into the wind, and sailed away,
toward the Chesapeake and points beyond.
