Sail Away with Me

 Webster says, the metaphor for sailing is: "And that's where the parts of the metaphorical sail come in: exploration, love, and purpose. Exploration is the driver of all growth, defined by the desire to seek out and make sense of novel, challenging, and uncertain events."

I love the concept of "sail away with me", an adventure, delight and discovery.

Thus, the week recently attended was that indeed. My sister-in-law has this view from her house every day. It is always such a treat to visit her and enjoy the morning sunrise. Each one is different, a new discovery.

 

Later in the day the view changed.


And yet, another view to include her garden.


There was always something to see right from her windows.


And then there was a walk to the marina where the boats rested, waiting for their owners to come along for a new adventure.


 

This boat was gorgeous and a replica of a historic sailing ship.
 

Did I mention that I am a water/nature girl? Could I sail away on an adventure, a new discovery? Could you?

This area of northern Washington State is wrapped in water. Just about anywhere you go there is a canal, lake, or river. And when there is water there seems to be boats. This last picture is on Bainbridge Island, right next to the ferry we took to head over more water to visit Seattle.

Next week I will share more of the adventure, but for now I thought you would like to imagine sailing to some exotic, unknown location and finding a new adventure.

Happy weekend, dear friends!

Sending love,

Marilyn

Lovely photos of the water, Marilyn. I love the fifth picture, the skies are mysterious. What a nice visit you had with your sister-in-law, and the views at her home made it all more pleasant to be there.

Happy October!

Water views are constantly changing. I think if I had a water view from my home, I would get nothing done but wander from window to window. Glad you had a good visit with your sister-in-law.
