Adapting

Here we are, well tucked onto a safe dock after four months in the remote north. We have all we could wish for, showers, laundry, fresh water and supplies.

And yet, after just three days, we decided to untie the dock lines and anchor out in the bay. This wasn’t about traveling, nor looking for a better place, we both just felt the need for a little privacy. 

It sounds ridiculous, but compared to the Broughtons, Otter Bay is a busy place.

Out we went, less then half a mile, and dropped the anchor. There we spent a wonderful two days. 

What did we do? Sarah painted, and in an amazing way, as she always does. Me? When all is well, the stars alined, and the world calms down enough, sometimes I just sit and contemplate the universe.

It had been awhile and I enjoyed it very much.

Happy, grinning and satiated, we headed back to the dock as the sun set. All was well with our world. 

Anchor up.

What does it take for you to be really happy? Money? Accomplishment? A sense of being? Whatever it is, find it and enjoy it to the fullest.

Ours is a relatively quiet and creative life based on the philosophy of ‘Do no harm’. For us this is enough.

That, and loving each other.
