There’s an undeniable, almost primal pull we feel toward the ocean. It's a need that's been studied and given a name: *Blue Mind,* a term coined by marine biologist Wallace J. Nichols to describe the meditative, calming state we enter when near water. The vastness of the sea provides a powerful escape from the clutter of daily life, offering a sense of perspective that can make our own problems feel smaller. Beyond the mental relief, there are tangible physical benefits. The rhythmic sound of waves and the fresh, salty air—which contains a higher concentration of **negative ions**—can lower stress hormones, improve mood by boosting serotonin levels, and even promote better sleep. This is why a simple walk on the beach or a few minutes spent watching the tide ebb and flow can feel so restorative. Our connection to the ocean is also deeply rooted in our need for activity and inspiration. It provides a natural playground for everything from swimming and sailing to quiet reflection and artistic expression. Ultimately, the ocean gives us a chance to disconnect from the modern world and reconnect with a fundamental part of ourselves—a need for tranquility, wonder, and the powerful embrace of nature.

Well, isn't this a surprise! A tranquil #Triggerfish lounging about. Known for their fierce territorial nature, these #seacreatures are infamous for their feisty 'keep-off-my-lawn' attitude. Intruders beware, as they won't hesitate to escort you out, including #snorkelers and #divers. And if they feel they are under threat, brace yourself for a spirited encounter! But it looks like our diver friend here stumbled upon a laid-back Triggerfish taking a siesta. So are you up for some underwater intrigue and possibly bumping into these spirited little #fish #undersea? Grab your gear and come dive with us on a #liveaboarddivingtrip this month in #KomodoNationalPark.

There is a simplicity and freedom of life at sea, where every day unfolds with the rhythm of the waves. As we start our second lap around the world, Bodhi, 2, and Willa, 4, are growing up wild and free. We live boldly and unapologetically and savor each moment of this extraordinary life.
