This is a wonderful image Lisa! Hubble says”I give it 4 paws!!”
Lisa Dorenfest August 10, 2015 — Post Author
I am delighted you think so Meg. And I love Hubble’s rating system and am honored to have received 4 paws ??

I was imagining that frothy sea as the “ground” beneath your feet and feeling a bit seasick as I contemplated it! But I guess even the deck of your tiny speck in the ocean is grounding enough for a seafarer! Your trip provides such unique ways to interpret the challenges, and you always so creatively rise to the occasion.

You are very kind Lexi. Thank you. You always know just what to say to make me feel great…. And funny, I am more apt to get ‘land sick’ then ‘sea sick’ at this point. It happens sometimes when we disembark in a port after long passage and the land seems to be moving. An odd sensation indeed.
Lisa Dorenfest August 10, 2015 — Post Author
Ha. How about this. I just went to catch up on my friend Brita’s blog (SailHo) and her latest post is about sea sickness and land sickness ?
lexklein August 11, 2015
I am going to go read it this minute!
lexklein August 11, 2015
Fascinating post by your friend. Even though I expressed some fears and squeamishness about bobbing on a boat, I have actually never been seasick! My family was all nauseous at the Great Barrier Reef, but I was fine both on the boat and snorkeling for hours! My dad used to take me deep sea fishing and I didn’t get sick then either. The landsickness would be so frustrating; you must literally feel like a fish out of water.
Lisa Dorenfest August 11, 2015 — Post Author
CAN NOT WAIT to go to the Great Barrier Reef!!!! Did you post any pictures of your time there? I searched your blog but could not find them.
lexklein August 13, 2015
No, but I should! I have never written much about our time in New Zealand or Australia. I don’t know why – maybe because it was longer ago. When I get home from Mexico (haha – hard to stay put!), I will make an effort to document that wonderful time!
Lisa Dorenfest August 13, 2015 — Post Author
Hope you do! And looking forward to posts from your Mexico visit! Have a great trip.

Well thank you Janis! You are wonderful to say so!
Dominique Guenot August 9, 2015

Ah, I can’t wait, either!

Great angle for this shot! I miss the days when the sea was the ground beneath my feet. Need to get back out there sometime soon ?
Lisa Dorenfest August 11, 2015 — Post Author
? Would love to ‘sea’ you out on the water again ⛵️
kirsten August 11, 2015
Ha! I love this response!!! ⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️

It’s a lovely photo, but as a critique I can mention that I would have straightened the blue line.
Lisa Dorenfest August 12, 2015 — Post Author
OMG you are so spot on with your critique. Thank you. And your feedback is timely. This was one of six images that I had planned to submit for a photo contest today. While I am leaving the original image here as posted, I made your suggested adjustment to the contest submission. So much better. Yay.
Cardinal Guzman August 12, 2015
Perfect timing! 🙂
Gallivanta August 15, 2015
Sweet.

I am delighted that you think so Ann! Thinking of you…only 36 days until Spring ?
Gallivanta August 16, 2015
Yes, nearly upon us.

Lisa Dorenfest August 16, 2015 — Post Author
OMG! So excited! Thanks for being the bearer of such wonderful news Mr Bad Fish! Just sailed back into Denarau from a few days visit to Likuri Island and was greeted with your congratulatory ping. Absolutely tickled!
badfish August 16, 2015
I know…it’s almost like being Freshly Pressed. Maybe better!!

badfish August 17, 2015
I know…cool, eh!
restlessjo August 21, 2015
Well done you! It’s a fabulous shot 🙂 There you are, bobbing about in the ocean, and you still manage to knock everyone’s socks off! 🙂
Lisa Dorenfest August 21, 2015 — Post Author
What a lovely compliment Jo! And thank you so much for the Tweet. How luck am I to have the ocean to inspire me ?⛵️
Kirsten Rohrbach August 22, 2015
My comment is late, but I will add my accolades to all the others: It really is a great composition and beautiful photo! As far as “straightening the blue line” goes, I guess that shows you how ignorant I am—because I can’t see that the blue line is crooked! Beautiful job, Lisa!
Lisa Dorenfest August 22, 2015 — Post Author
Heeeellllooooo Kirsten! So lovely to hear from you. Think of you often and wish you were here. We would have a blast together in Fiji!
Thank you for your very kind words. They mean a great deal to me. Hugs to Patrick ⛵️
TRB August 25, 2015

Lisa Dorenfest August 25, 2015 — Post Author
Wonderful to hear from you Mr TRB! Think of you often! Hope all is awesome on the home front. Perhaps she is dreaming of living a long, adventurous life at sea ⛵️??.
