Why go sailing is something one asks only if they haven't been out there in the channels, bays and coves of Desolation Sound in British Columbia.
Of course there is drama when sailing a bigger boat in a stiff breeze.
But I find as much joy in the little boat that takes me ashore for adventures of exploration.
A dramatic sunset is a view filled with wonder.
But so is watching the sun slowly release the forest into its quiet shadowed life.
There is music in the utter stillness of night coming on.
Just as there is the music of companionship floating over a safe mooring in good holding ground.
Why go sailing? Because I need a pause from my everyday self who does Journey Oracle readings, makes shaman frame drums, and works as an oyster farmer. Why do you need to go sailing?
