The Sea, The Sea

26 March 2009. We scarred the sea and behind us it healed itself. In places it shone in others it sparkled and from mile to mile it changed its shape. A living thing which in a single unforgiving moment can take life. Ceaslessly fascinating, infinitely relaxing, a friend and an enemy. I like being at sea but doubt that I would want to do it for 91-106 days, the typical length of a round the world cruise. Nevertheless we have some long itineraries planned for when I retire.
