The air always feels heavier when the sail's aflutter, doesn't it? Captured one evening off the coast of Florida by me: "Twilit Canvas".

I want to be out there..."Sailing into the Sunset".

Captured off the Florida Keys by me on a little cruise I did once.

Oh, when I pencil it out, it doesn't make financial sense to live aboard full-time, but so help me, I want to go! A sight and sound that, once you're in it, you never want to end, captured one winter's eve off the coast of Florida: "Full Sail".

The deepest days are the best days...and after the sun sets, "The Night is Ours".

Captured on a sail off the coast of Florida, February 2022.

It's not the time of year where warmth belongs...but I confess, looking back on that evening, it makes me wish I was there again...

"Twilit Canvas", I call this one, captured on one of Florida's most delightful sunset sails.

When the air is heavy, the breeze is warm, the sails flutter, and the sea laps before you as if you were in a dream. For what is life but dreams made reality...

Captured one February evening: "Sailing into the Sunset".

To date, the furthest south I've ever gone...and of all the directional milestones I've reached, this boat ride out of Key West might have been the most memorable. From sunset one February evening, "Full Sail".

O daring joy, but safe! are they not all the seas of God? My capture of one day when, looking back on it, I could experience what those words truly mean. Lo, "Full Sail".

The sort of evenings that make a person like me wish they'd been raised on the ocean, rocked to sleep by the gentle flutter of a sail...but somehow knowing that a romance as heavy and torrid as the Caribbean air itself would make it all better, for "The Night is Ours".

I feel today what the great Walt Whitman wrote:
"Sail forth—steer for the deep waters only,
Reckless O soul, exploring, I with thee, and thou with me,
For we are bound where mariner has not yet dared to go"
Photo is the closest I've yet gotten to that vibe, but someday...
