Its 4.30am and we are nearing Juneau in Alaska and i just glimpsed out of the "Round Window" or porthole and the scene was breathtaking...even as the tiredness sets in i must appreciate these moments...let me try describe it.
The ocean is still without a wave...just a ripple on the surface. The surface looks like glass, shining with a silver sheen. If i was outside id expect no wind...just a crisp, icy morning air. As the sun is starting to rise, its tip has barely surfaced and the reflection of the sun, has turned the oceans surface a light pink. The sky is also pink and it looks like the world is aglow with a pink light. Even the clouds have taken on this pink glow. Ive tried a few photos but they just aren't doing this scene justice..
This is what ship life is about in essence....appreciating the magic, that no matter what... still exists... if only one stops to look round to see/feel and experience it.
