We’ve often written about the joy of being on the water, and how water itself can bring calm. If you are stressed at the launch ramp, and if you pay attention after casting off, you cannot easily worry about pandemics, politics, troubles at work or anything else. It’s just you, your boat and the captivating, watery world.
Following are some images I’ve gathered over the years. Remembering these moments afloat brings me calm, even now, and my hope is that you might respond in a similar way.
So, while calm is an elusive sensation these days, we hope you’ll leave the stress behind and get on the water more than ever this coming season.
Enjoy…

Just made that Walter Simmons boat tender photo my laptop's new wallpaper. Should help me get through at least December. Thanks
Sublime and heartwarming. The water surface is colorful, shimmering, textured, and instructive. Grateful for this, Marty.
