Close your eyes and listen if you will. Early morning and a distant  seagulls' call as it echoes off the hills across the harbour. Perhaps the sea is up and the whitecaps are curling ashore. Hear it? You look across the harbour to see a fishing boat cutting through the sun diamonds sparkling on the water as it makes its' way out to sea. Go ahead take a deep breath of  fresh ocean air but don't tarry long, breakfast is waiting and there is much to see and do today. Imagine that!
