Thank you for the comments. I grew up by the ocean, but I now live in the midwest. There is a wonderful sense of peace and freedom that comes with living by the sea. I enjoyed watching this sailor's unhurried preparations and his utterly relaxed posture as he headed out into open water.
This was part of a great summer vacation; it seems a long time ago now! I like Indiana, but I hate being landlocked (the Great Lakes are just not the same as the sea).
