Living on the ocean is beyond compare. I actually don’t know how I went so long without it. The air, the smell, the sound of the waves- even the humbling feeling you get when you look out at something bigger than you. It’s a part of my identity and I’m ashamed that I didn’t take more of an advantage of it growing up.
Sure, we went to the beach. I swam in the ocean, built sandcastles as a kid. And when I lived down the street from a beach in Connecticut, I went to the beach by myself a lot! It was like a spa treatment for me. The sand between my toes, the fresh air, and the most tranquil naps in the warm sun.
But I’m not the most adventurous gal and I never played any water sports or learned to sail. I mean, I know my way around a boat- thank you very much Uncle Phil and cousin Jon! But I just wish I was more of an expert for no other reason than bragging rights. Like- “oh let me tell you what that nautical flag means” or “An anchor hitch knot? I can take care of that!” But alas, I’m going to have to be a late bloomer with all my nautical knowhow.
In the time being, I can certainly fake it. Check out these fabulous sea-loving selections…
