As an island people, our relationship with the sea is forged at an early age. The ever changing sea beguiles us, playfully inviting on calm summer days when we can paddle or swim secure in its gentle shallows. At other times forbidding and an isolating force, seeming angry and troubled as storms play out; awe inspiring nature in the raw. Filtering into the collective subconscious as a liquid space alive with possibilities, the heave and roll of waves seems at times the steady breathing of a great creature. Who has not imagined themselves rocked to sleep by that gentle rhythm to dream of sailing towards the limitless horizon on a night voyage of discovery and adventure.
