“To desire and strive to be of some service to the
world, to aim at doing something which shall really
increase the happiness and welfare and virtue of
mankind - this is a choice which is possible for all of
us; and surely it is a good haven to sail for.” Henry Van Dyke

Sailors confess to the liberation of leaving the harbor, arriving in the harbor, and every space in between.
I’ve heard it described as being alive and one with the wind, the waves and the sun. I imagine the freedom
from the “I should… I’m expected to… I’m depended on…” Consider the fragrant assault of aquatic air,
the tangy taste of salt as the speed picks up and water sprays, the moist touch of morning fog on your skin,
the laughing notes of seagulls courting, and the mystical sunsets. No alarm clock but the sunrise, no
schedule but a whim, no decisions but what’s for dinner. Oh, for a Gentle Journey.
