The Open Ocean


I will be embarking on a new sailing trip in a few weeks. A week long trip from Ft Lauderdale to the Dry Tortugas and back. The thing I am looking forward to the most is a day or two of nothing but open ocean. There is a great solice and peace can be found sitting on a deck looking out in all directions and seeing nothing but blue water. You feel so small yet so important and alive and free. It is like all your troubles are gone and you are at one with God and the world around you.

I would recommed trying it sometime.
