Anchoring in mid sea.

I used to gaze at the fishing motor boats returning after a catch during my morning walks to the beach.  But I have never dreamed of going in such a boat, riding over the high waves with an adrenaline rush and the waves spraying all over you. The engine whirled and zoom we went over the high waves making its way away from the sea shore, feeling the strength of the splashing waves as it hit the bottom of the boat with a thud sound. Turning back to the shore, everything looked so far away, and the only sound heard was the engine's roar. It is a beautiful experience the sea waver splashing all over, unwinding from the hectic day to day routine of life, leaving everything behind you on a mute. The solace of the sea is like a balm and tranquil. Clad in a life jacket you can float in the sea or just enjoy sitting in the boat. 

Is there anyone who doesn’t want to meet the horizon on to the sea? It gives a rush of feelings to think of floating in mid sea on dark Turquoise sea water for hours while looking above at azure sky? I am amazed by the splendor of the blue green mid sea, anchoring in the ripples formed by the sea. Staring at the sky made me lost in rapture of miracle. It is a feeling of bliss riding over the waves.

The rides certainly depend on water currents and climatic and tides of the sea. It is common knowledge that the sea is an entity impossible to predict and full of mystery.  The importance of riding with the local fishermen who genuinely understands the ocean from years of fishing, is really an added advantage and they really know where to anchor in safety.


An experience to remember, moments that give simple joy, sitting in the boat just gazing at the sky and sea, watching the ripples reflect the sun like million tiny mirrors, with just the swaying of the boat as if it is rocking you with a sweet lullaby.
