boat love

(from 6/15):

after dinner, we spent some time hanging out on the deck, at the back of the boat. this is quite possibly my favorite part of any boat-riding or cruising (despite my many, many issues with the latter). i love being on a boat in the ocean pretty much ever, though i suppose sailing is better than engine boating, especially at night under a near-full moon. it was crazy-hazy tonight, but enough of the moonlight got through that there was a trail of silver on the tops of the waves all the way to the horizon.

i'm generally leery about combining uber-capitalist ventures like cruising and romance, but i think sitting out in the middle of the night in the middle of the ocean on the deck of a boat would be a pretty good date.
