Winds somewhere safe to sea. "

Spirit of Honolulu

" By the deep sea,
 and music in its roar:
I love not man the less,
 but Nature more. "

Lord Byron









" Live in the sunshine, 

swim the sea,

 drink the wild air 

of your imagination. "

Ralph Waldo Emerson











" As the sea is beautiful 

not only in calm 

but also in storm,

so is happiness

 found not only in 

peace

but also in 

strife. "

IVAN PANIN

I'm scared of going on boats, and I'm scared of the sea!

Pink clouds must have melted into the sea. Love the landing birdie; could be the Paradise cousin of the "Touched by an Angel" dove.

Love the last quote. Still, in rough waters I find it hard to stay happy.
Nice - about the research ship.

Happy day Cloudia.

Aloha Cloudia, just seeing these stunning views and reading each lovely quote centers me into what their/hubby and Wendy's days at sea will be, and frankly, I'm quite envious. Happy sails for all.

Is Pearl Harbour close to you, I wonder?

Always love coming here but to actually be living where you are must be fantastic. Meanwhile our cold winter approaches . . . . .. brrrr! LOL
