I Absolutely Love the Ocean

@DKMoon. Thank you. The ocean has always been very much a part of me. I can sit there for hours, and just soak in the 'vitamin O'. Many times I will be sitting there with my pen and pad, and there are times those hours are spent just staring out at sea. Yesterday was like that for me as I said goodbye to my father.

Very nice and tranquil. I can imagine the waves washing away the sadness.

I am a recreational sailor, cruising and racing, I have been for over forty years and I own several boats our family boat was my late Fathers and I do all the maintenance and most of the repair work on it. I have kept it to a high level of operating and structural / cosmetic condition and it has proven to be relevant to my Family as well updating systems continually and it always was a great sailing boat, now it just does more things. My Dad would LOVE what his boat has evolved into and my Mother spends weekends on board with us through out the summer. I tell her that one of my jobs is to keep her from getting old while she is getting older. We stay in an idyllic spot on an island at a private club and very much revel in sailing the boat on the lake - fresh water - which is good to keep Old boats in good condition. I keep many old things, one being my Wife's Grandfathers car and if you can believe it no one else in her family even wanted it. Seems to be to be a distinct lack of respect involved.

Seeing the ocean is something that I don't get to do often. I love watching it, it can be a very spiritual experience.

Nice piece and great pic.

@it's good you have a place you can go and reflect. I'm sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad you have a place to go like this.

I spent some time in Santa Cruz.. it's a beautiful part of the coast.
my heart will always find a comforting home along the beaches of Point Sur to the south.. the lighthouse hill at Point Sur is a lovely and tranquil place..
I have spent many hours walking the shore there... day and night.
you're lucky to live in such a beautiful place.

Wow, how touching Where was this picture taken. I love the ocean as well. I fish and crab out of moss landing. It is so serene being on the water

My heart goes out to you. I have lost many people I love also. The ocean is a calming place for me too.

Beautiful photo. I've been here, I believe. It has a very mystic feel to it.
