Hello all.
I'm fairly new to Sleuth and I thought I might share a little hobby of mine with you all. Here's something for that sad moment when the mysteries of the day are all done.
Thousands lay up gold within this house,
but no man made it.
Spears past counting guard this house,
but no man wards it.
What is it?

Is this the answer? The tides bring him to shore.

Is there a tide in a lake?
Umm I'm guessin the lake isn't very deep and he walks back!
LOL I once saw Junior mispronounce the word 'nuclear' on tv. That's just scary.

Does it have anything to do with moving the sail's boom back and forth to push against the dead air and move the boat to shore?

I hope it's not one of those "gotchas" where he just turns on the motor and goes to shore...

I've got it. Does he use his hands for a paddle? If not are there any items on board?

Besides why would a sailor be in a lake? Should he be at the sea or the ocean?

Hold on, let me throw a curve ball. Who is a sailor that cannot swin? I bet that every sailor has to know how to swim. So I'm guessing this is a trick question.
