We sailed north this morning on a fine clear day and a glassy sea.

.

A glassy sea implies no wind so we would have been powered by the engine.

.

I’m sitting on the bow here, looking back.

.

I was impressed by the patterns in the wake at the side of the ketch.

.

And I’m picking off selections with a very long lens.

.

An interesting mixture of the sharp and real and the abstract and dreamy.

.

Submersed in the magic of nature…

.

Ethereal boundaries and transitions…

.

.

Probably these conditions didn’t last long as we steamed out of a sheltered anchorage.

All these images were taken within less than eight minutes.
