#sailing life
As a tallship sailor who has lived in tight musty quarters, barely functional heads, and horrible seasickness; I feel so seen by the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Catwalk."
It's comforting idea to know that the same kind of suffering still happens with space travel.

Beautiful Square Rigger! Flying her “studding sails”.
A studding sail, or stun'sl, is an extra sail on a square rigged vessel for use in fair weather. It is set outside the square sails, using stun'sl booms which run out along the yards.
More Cow Bell!!

With the sailing season locally winding down, I cannot fully express how thrilled I am to have accepted a position crewing in the Hebrides next summer. More hours toward eventual Masters Papers? Yes, please. Weeks at sea without being tethered to, or even having access to, email? YES.

I dream of open waters
I dream of sunlight being reflected in the sea a thousand times over in the afternoon
A few days ago I was swimming towards the golden molten globe of the sun as it rose from the saltwater
Now I’m here, miles away, dreaming of the ocean again
I dream of open waters
And I dream of misty beaches
And of the restless shoulders of the sea
I dream of peace
Of sailing a tall ship
And falling asleep with sunlight and wind under my eyelids
And salt under my skin
I dream of jumping into the deep cold waters,
Of the moment they consume you whole (and for a moment you don’t exist)
I dream of freedom
I dream of childhood
I dream of peace

Who else here finds looking at the sea and sailing boats pleasantly calming…?
I certainly do and last month I found finishing this painting of seabird half rater sail boats being raced at Trearddur Bay, off Ynys Môn (Anglesey) in North Wales gave me some much-needed tranquillity!
You may have noticed I’m not posting as much and taking longer to reply to comments at the moment. It’s because caring for a recently bereaved older relative is taking up extra time when we least expect. But Steve and I are doing our best, that is helping her and that’s the important thing. Most other things can wait.
When you buy from me, you’re buying from a sole-trader artist, an individual, rather than a big corporation. I’m very grateful for each purchase. And family comes first.
My A4 (29.7cm x 21cm) unframed original watercolour piece is available for £75 including UK postage. Please just message me to arrange your purchase. I check messages daily, so I will see and respond to yours.
It's also available in a mix of different types and sizes of prints, and printed on all sorts of lovely things (like accessories, apparel, homewares, gift items, etc) at:
Thanks!

I think there needs to be more stories about friends who are almost lovers. who are closer then anything in the world. who can read each others minds. who appreciate how beautiful and impressive the other is. and then have them absolutely destroyed by their own personal events and have that bond twist around like a broken electric cable until it snaps under the pressure of incompatible lives. and then that love turns to hate and then to a haunting.
