It's a warm and bright Saturday here. We have just gotten back from a walk along the beach. There were a few shark's teeth collected, a washed up sea turtle that had been necropsied, and a lot of pelicans and gulls. There wasn't another person on the beach.
This place is like a temple for me. I meditate and stay focused on each step. I am set right with myself when I am here. And for the most part being set right with myself makes me set right with all else.
The boom tent is the most amazing purchase thus far for the boat. Not only is it a happy yellow but it reduces the temperature about 10 degrees F which makes the cockpit habitable for the old dog and me. There is now shade and a wind tunnel effect.
We are going to have breakfast, then do some reading, and eventually take a nap. It will be a relaxing day. This past week I have worked on lectures for next week. I still feel as if the harness of my job is on but getting looser. I now come and go as I want which is freeing.
Hope you are having a good Saturday.
Sharks' teeth - how fun! You could make Crocodile Dundee style jewelry out of them. That is one happy and contented looking dog. With a sharks' teeth studded collar he could look like a happy, contented and dangerous doggie!

looks like a beautiful day AND that is a sharp looking dog :) I have a Chesapeake Bay Retriever and he loves going out on the boat and to the sandbars around here. Today my husband and I took my daughters and my parents out and were going to hang out longer, but my youngest had a meltdown so she and I are home now. She had a traumatizing experience in the water a few weeks ago and today she wasn't ready for the boat so we're just going to relax and hang with our doggies :) enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteThe boom tent would make me smile just for the cheery color. I know you and C are having a great weekend. The walk before breakfast with the dog is ideal. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

ReplyDeleteI love yellow. I once had a yellow kitchen. It made me happy just to walk into it first thing in the morning.
Feels like you are having a relaxing day....Like to see the boom tent sometime. Or was it the yellow canvas I saw in a previous post?
ReplyDeleteyou make me want to come to your beach and hang out Syd...
ReplyDeleteI liked the photo, Syd. The beach always makes me almost drunk with joy. I am happiest near the ocean.

How big is your boat - and do you ahce any good suggestions for getting a dog from teh cockpit into the cabin? I just bought a Valiant 40 and the companionway is very ladder-like and my dog is old. Any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteWhat an enchanting spot you have found to find peace and serenity. Sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are beginning to feel the freedom.
