Thanks to everybody who expressed their support and gave an advice! It has been a long month for me, but I don't regret even for a moment that I bought a boat and started sailing. Today I had dolphins playing at the bow of the boat when we sailed, and I could almost touch them, and in the late evening, on a deserted beach, I swam naked and saw a plankton lighting up tiny green light with my every move. Mindblowing!

Thank you for opening this new amazing world for me. It is not easy, but it is worth every second of it.

Well done, Froggy!

And FWIW, feedback like this is what makes posting on CF so rewarding... sometimes we collectively can really make a difference in someones life!

Sea Frog,

The sight of the bioluminescence when we swim is really wonderful. I once made "snow angels" in it. We can do what the porpoises and whales do. It's one of the blessings of the lifestyle.

Glad you made it out to enjoy. So many don't have the heart for it.
