Why thank you. I guess for most sailors, and certainly for me, getting closer to the beauty, power and mystery of the ocean is one of the main attractions of the sport. It wouldn't be nearly as beautiful if it was the same all the time. In fact it's always changing. DH

What a lovely post - thank you.
My overactive imagination was working overtime when I read Pat Henry's book. I've been in the ocean most of my life and I miss it. Your description of it being maybe more beautiful in bad weather than good made me smile.
