You might not understand…

the feeling of being so small and weak against the wind and waves.

the importance of a good knot.

the proper air level in the dinghy.

the heart-thumping sound of anchor chain being released too close after dark.

the green flash.

the freedom of clear blue water.

the boredom in paradise.

the longing for more.

the art of flushing the head.

the weight of anchor chain.

the comfort of sleeping on the lee side.

the difference in a good thump and a bad thump.

the desperate feeling of sea sickness.

the comfort of a well-set anchor.

the difference in a good window and a bad one.

the uncomfortable gaze of a barracuda.

the “crust” of dried salt spray.

the fright and frustrations of electrical issues.

the magic of a wind vane.

If you do, than you know it is almost time and we are READY!
