A glorious afternoon passed in leisure mode as breezy conditions gave way to flat calm serenity. Travel plans set all that was left to do was unwind, reconnect with old friends, and watch the world from afar. Though it may sound a bit un stimulating such is the point. Taking the strain of the last five months into account the chance to flee beyond the headlines is cathartic. Soul cleansing, especially among like minded, trusted friends old and new. Look for reports and images to continue as the voyage unfolds.
