Deep Blue

On September 18th 2009, we went sailing on an 84 year old wooden boat around Lake Union. We had no destination but to be under the stars and on the deep blue. A wise fellow onboard stated, “My favorite part of this ride is that we’ve been going nowhere for four hours.” Moving with no destination - it’s a nice feeling.

We ate hors d'oeuvre, drank sparkling cider from champagne glasses (which I scrounged around Goodwill for to find 18 matching pieces), listened to Josh Phillips’ acoustic guitar and soothing vocals, listened to poetry, shared laughs, stories and quite a bit of love. The air was warm and deep.
