I like being out at sea in a small craft. It's got horizontal exposure.
Spent Saturday off the coast of Santa Barbara hunting sharks and other delectable game fish in a small rubber boat. Rowed for about 4 hours. Cold, wet, puking, good stuff. I want more.

The Eagle
He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ring'd with the azure world, he stands.
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson

What a wonderful thread.
Some photos of untouched rock on the east coast of New Zealand.

Not really all that far from where most of the pictures in this thread were taken. (And what a treat to see Greg's shots of family day at LHP)
Edit: Jim, yes, about 10k south of B'ham in Larrabee State Park.

Driving south toward the Spanish coast one winter evening after a day of climbing we crested a hill and got a view of the sun setting over the sea, with a red/orange glow above distant hills.
It took a minute to realize those distant hills were in Africa. I felt the strangest sensation... an almost physical pull. I'll probably never get there, something I'll always regret.

Ghost- my family went across to Morocco for about a week back in 1969. Radically different from Spain and the rest of Europe.
Egypt and Jordan are next on my African wish list.

The second post to this thread simply says "Thalassa! Thalassa!"
I can't believe there isn't a single classical scholar here who can identify who said it, and in what context. Ron, Anastasia (hint), Rich, Ed, someone?
Hint: "delendaest" is another classical allusion, though I haven't yet figured out the Carthaginian reference.
Bump.

Well, yes, a genus of ladybug. But I don't think that's what Xenophon's mercenaries had in mind when they shouted "Thalassa! Thalassa!"
