Interesting, how much our reality depends on where we're looking from. One week ago, our view faced the opposite way, where our hotel room was our refuge from the world beyond the balcony. Now, with Liberte launched and chores complete, our home is the boat, the hotel is simply a picturesque background, and we are going to point the bow out of the channel at 3 a.m. tomorrow to cross the Sea of Cortez. Cruising is a method of travel that frequently reminds us to be flexible with our plans, our routines and our minds themselves.
