The power of the ocean

I have always loved the sea, growing up in Scotland I had access to it at any time, but took it all for granted. Later I lived in Northern Spain on the Bay of Biscay where I often witnessed with joy and excitement some of the fiercest weather conditions the Atlantic Ocean could provide. I came to Canada and lived almost thirty years in Ontario every day without the sea, I really missed it. Now I have the sea back in my life, I will never leave it again ….

John F. Kennedy said in September 1962 ~

"I really don’t know why it is that all of us are so committed to the sea, except I think it’s because in addition to the fact that the sea changes, and the light changes, and ships change, it’s because we all came from the sea. And it is an interesting biological fact that all of us have, in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea – whether it is to sail or to watch it – we are going back from whence we came"
