We are on our final leg of our long trip from Home to our Yacht Micah-which is patiently (or impatiently:) ) waiting for us to arrive...
It has been an incredible journey for Us from the conception of this "courageous" idea of ours, to this very point...
Our house has been rented out for a year...the children have been taken out of their good schools...our bags are packed...our boat has spent months being sailed over from Durban to Phuket with a few hiccups on the way.
Quick Thought: No Jabu to wash our clothes!
Fears: What if we get sent back before we even get to our boat?
I have always been extremely respectful of the ocean.
I love to admire it from a distance and through the lens of the camera-capturing its awesome beauty from a safe distance:)
And now...I am looking down at the vast ocean miles and miles of it...from our plane as we finally come to the last leg of our flight from Durban-Jhb-Singapore-Puket. The contours of the coastlines and the blobs of islands scattered lost in the sea far below...
Then it dawns on me-we are going to be living on THAT ocean, sailing around those random islands...oh my-all that water all around us!
Note to self:we are going to have to do some serious nightwatches so that we do not sail into one of those islands...
Cadens fear: "Seriously I think we are going to land in the water. I can't see the Airport!"
Wow- Phuket looks beautiful from the air. Craggy cliffs and bits of land sprinkled everywhere in the sea. The clouds match the contours of the jagged island hills like puzzle pieces or even better -like soulmates... The few beaches trail like whisps of smoke-trailing away from the islands. We can see the marina from the air... We are coming in for our landing...anticipation...we all hold our breathe- me more than others as i wonder what are we doing?
Kisses from Caden.
We are here...
