Sail Away*
by Justin Miller

Sitting back in my wicker deck chair, looking over the aft balcony watching the sun set in a blaze of glory, the ghost trail of our wake confirms our removal from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the world - a one-way trail, taking us ever further from the stress and schedule and duty; always hinting from whence we came but always receding further away, a ghostly ribbon of the road traveled. Problems and troubles both missed the boat...they watch from the dock as me & calm sail off together.

Justin, wonderful capture of a beautiful sunset. You did a fine job of conveying the feeling of motion and distance. We have to wait 10 more months until our next cruise....this time with the aft balcony ;-)) A calm like no other.

I'm even now plotting my next such moment, sometime in Oct/Nov. Can't get enough cruising - the perfect calm getaway!

Very nicely composed in addition to the lovely color and light. This would sure give me a sense of calm!
