Out

Hopefully I'll be gone sailing for a few days.

Jan posted a link to a music video from a band called Switchfoot recently. The hook from the chorus is, "When I look at the stars I feel like myself".

That hook perfectly describes what I feel when I sleep out under the stars after a day of sailing. Looking up at the sky the noise from everything fades, the stars come into focus and I don't want to close my eyes -- it's too beautiful. I feel the chill in my nose and get a little deeper into my sleeping bag. I see satellites, shooting stars, ore boats on the horizon and sometimes the northern lights. The rocking of the boat eventually coaxes me to sleep. Life is beautiful.

I can't wait.
