Sea Me

Did you ever break up with someone and later had a twinge of regret about it? Its kind of like that with me and the ocean. Having grown up in Vancouver, Canada, one of the things that I missed most when I moved to Toronto was not being near the ocean. Although Toronto does sit on the shores of Lake Ontario, the city is an absolute disgrace in terms of weaving its best geographical feature into the urban fabric.

Even after living in Vancouver for many years I would still have jaw dropping moments as I walked to work across the Burrard Bridge, humbled by the beauty of the suns reflection off the shimmering inlet, the city dwarfed by towering evergreens and majestic mountains.

If the earth is a body, then its oceans are its lifeblood, the tides its defining rhythm, and for much of the world, its creatures a crucial source of sustenance.

The privelige of sailing upon her feels like a chance meeting with a long lost lover who is even more beautiful, graceful, and sensual than the day we first met.
