Pictures won't do this entry any justice. Nor will my words... But i'll try to explain how amazing the sail from Ulladulla to Geelong was! ... We set sail on a Monday evening and I'm not going to lie, a few of us were a bit on the edge knowing that a 2 and half day sail was ahead of us through the Bass Strait, which apparently is known for the roughest waters in Australia. So we thought we'd be seeing those horrid red and green buckets again!... But to our surprise, the sail was as flat as a lake! The waters were so calm... so smooth... so still... so amazing. One of the first mates that was with us thats been travelling the Australia waters for years said he has NEVER seen the Bass Strait like he did on this sail! ... We were completely blessed by the morning crip sunrises, the amazing indescribable sunsets, the unexplainable sea and sky at night and to top it all off... there were dolphins! ... Not one, or 5, but a whole clan... or whatever you call a clump of playful cheeky dolphins that just wanted to play! ... I've never seen anything so amazing ... maybe on the Planet Earth DVDs or something ... but for me to see it with my own two eyes was quite epic.... i don't think i've ever been so content and so at peace as I was on this 2 day sail... i was thinking of it and i dont think i've ever really related to the writings and poems of those out at sea... until now. i see now how poetic, how revelation giving and deep the wonders of being a part of the big blue ocean could be ... but the thing is, it always... ALWAYS comes back to the Creator of it all... and how awesome He is that He would give us all this to enjoy... so thanks Dad... you are amazing.
