Mind and Body, the Canaries

I've never slept on a yacht before... I was really excited to learn what it's like to sail. I got to pull on ropes, lift the sail, and winch it in place and it was really fun. We had a cool, curated crew from similar points in life, all excited to be on the yacht. We cooked together, shared cabins, and visited various islands. We were surprised and delighted to see pilot whales and schools of dolphins, one early delight was more than nine dolphins swimming ahead of the yacht. We watched them through the nets and over the side... they were with us for quite a while. That was beautiful. The curation was just everything, everything was easy, taken care of, well-fed. It was a beautiful experience. I'm so glad I flew halfway around the world for this with the crew.
