We’re tied to the sea

Humanity is tied to the sea. It’s where life sprang from and it’s what sustains this planet. We need to remember this, keep it in mind always and have a reverence for the sea. For without it, there’s nothing.

Destination Unknown

We set sail in life, our destination unknown and make the most of what we encounter along our journey, sharing laughter and joy, tears and sadness, and everything in between. The adventure is ours to make the most of, and when we can ease the load and brighten the day of those we run into … Read more
