Dawn

August, 27. 2013

Dawn is my absolute favorite time of day on the boat. All is quiet but for the rising of the birds and a lone sea lion’€™s bark. Across the harbor, the roar of human traffic begins slowly. I love the feel of the air against my skin. It is cool and soft. And the sunlight promises warmth as it lies gently across the water.

I am excited at the prospect of waking up in an anchorage along the coast of Baja. I imagine it will be much the same, yet very different. For one thing, the roar of human traffic might be described as a hum and that I relish. For another, I look forward to making new friends and learning about the Mexican culture. And then there’s the food; fish tacos and trading batteries for lobsters!
