Beautiful days

Yesterday, I went offshore with some friends on the 'Start Me Up' fishing boat, Action. Captain Patrick and Yukka do all of the work because we, the fishermen, usually sit around and wait for the fish to hit, then Yukka sets the hook and hands us the rod. Well, we had one of those Pacific windstorm days and the waves were monstrous! Capt. Patrick and Yukka worked just to keep us in the water and they tried hard for 10 hours to get us on some fish, but with no positive results. It still reminded me of how beautiful this world really is. The sky was clear and the water was the purest deep blue, even at 3,000 feet. Occasionally, I would spot a humpback whale breaching just above the waves and see his splash rise over the whitecaps. The power of the wind to whip the water into turbulence is amazing and I gained a greater respect for the early Polynesian sailors that braved the open seas to find and travel to Hawaii. Overall, we didn't catch anything, but I enjoyed a beautiful day. Hope you find the beuaty in yours today.
