The Call of the Sea

The sea has always been a place that’s drawn folks – the curious types, the adventurers – sparkin’ their imaginations. There’s always been this special pull, this mystique, that’s got people explorin’ it, or if that weren’t possible, standin’ back and gazin’ at its depths, listenin’ to the crash of the breakers. Painters have snatched that image from their minds and spun it into somethin’ else entirely.

Poets have described the waves as the ebb and flow of life’s events. But beyond the fleeting glimpses and those quick, here-then-gone moments the sea throws at ya, there seems to be another way to get a kick out of it: tearin’ across the water on skis behind an inflatable. It’s pretty clear how wild the ocean can get sometimes, as the girls in this perfectly-timed photo are demonstratin’. Maybe thinkin’ that raftin’ was just a chill boat ride was the biggest boo-boo they’ll never make again.
