In the distance I can see a faint explosion of spray. Rumours and glimmers of the potential to capture something new captivate me. Do I drive into the unknown to chase something new? Risk leaving the safety of the nearby coastline for the unknown?

Hesitation can be detrimental in many of the circumstances I place myself in, but sometimes it can be beneficial to ones wellbeing. The overwhelming sense of isolation in these remote places can easily keep you close to shore.

This particular day I chose the unknown and was rewarded for it. Miles out to sea and so far away from safety, every sense was heightened by the elements surrounding me. The ocean arose to greet me in the most spectacular fashion.
