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

swim the sea,
drink the wild air
of your imagination. "

not only in calm
but also in storm,
so is happiness
found not only in
peace
but also in
strife. "

Those waters look calm. Hooray. Super quotes and shots!
Beautiful waters to sail on, and pictures of them.
Have a joyful day.
Great sailing here with you and my man Emerson.
Sail over and visit when you can.

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

Oh to live by the sea!
i like the sweet bird. :)
I'm gonna give some thought to that line about even the weariest river
That pink sea is quite something Cloudia
Pink clouds must have melted into the sea. Love the landing birdie; could be the Paradise cousin of the "Touched by an Angel" dove.

It's fun watching the boats head out toward the horizon! Aloha!
I love that first quote - so apt just today for me.
Love the last quote. Still, in rough waters I find it hard to stay happy.
Nice - about the research ship.
Happy day Cloudia.
Ah, that last comment...
Having trouble feeling calm this a.m.but the storm will pass. Thanks,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.
Stunning photos - and love that final quote.
Jolly Friends!

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
