Morning on the Water

The best mornings in Ibiza start before the heat arrives. By seven, the light is golden and the port is almost empty. By ten it will be full.

We take the boat out most Tuesdays. Sometimes there are eight of us, sometimes three. The ritual matters more than the numbers — the quiet, the salt air, the feeling of moving through something older than anything we have built.

What the sea teaches

It teaches patience. You cannot rush the wind. You cannot force a current. You can only read what is there and respond. There is a lesson in that for almost everything.
