“Stepping onto my boat at dawn, I feel the kind of freedom that only the sea can offer. Out here, there are no boundaries, just the endless sweep of water and sky. The ocean spreads out before me, vast and untamed, and in that space, I’m reminded of how small I am—how small everything is. There’s a pull to the unknown that grips me, something wild and unpredictable just beneath the surface, and it’s that mystery that keeps calling me back. It’s not just about the catch, though there’s a quiet satisfaction in providing for my family. It’s more than that. It’s the way the ocean clears your head, forces you to let go of everything else. The world slips away, and all that’s left is the rhythm of the water, the breeze on your face, the deep stillness between each wave. Being out there resets something in me. There’s a peace you can’t find on land, a kind of calm that only the ocean offers. And in that calm, there’s adventure too—something bigger than myself, something I’m always chasing, but never quite catching.”
