Finally Heading Back to Sea

 It's just been so long, so very, very long since I've had a deck under my feet!  The smell of the ocean breeze, the wind in my hair, nothing but the horizon to see, looking for dolphins splashing in the wake or seeing if there's a fin in the water (a habit from childhood).  I'm going back to the sea!  I love this quotation from John Kennedy:

 “I really don't know why it is that all of us are so committed to the sea, except I think it's because in addition to the fact that the sea changes, and the light changes, and ships change, it's because we all came from the sea. And it is an interesting biological fact that all of us have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea - whether it is to sail or to watch it - we are going back from whence we came.

 That sums up so well how I feel about it and why I love cruising and selling cruises so much.

 

So what's so special about THIS sailing?  Well, I'm taking two of my grandnephews with me, so for once I won't be sailing alone!  These two young men, age 20 and 23, are tall, slender, athletic, blonde haired, blue eyed and I will be the envy of every other old lady on the ship!!  You don't believe me?  Here's a photo of one of them. I don't currently have many photos of these  two but in a month or so I'll have a ton of them!!  They plan on being my wingmen, setting me up with every guy on the ship.  I plan to set them up with all the pretty women, mermaids, sirens, you name it -  both on land and at sea.  This sailing is sure to be a hoot.  😊  The only thing missing will be my dog, Blue, who will be home with the dog-sitter being spoiled rotten, going to a neighbor's pool every day or to "Dog Beach" to play with the other dogs, and getting lots of love and attention at night.   It's going to be a great vacation for everyone and most important of all ... I'm going back to the sea from whence I came!!  I hear it calling and I must go!
