There's something that's such a grin about a naked woman climbing to the top of the mast to feel the wind and the night sky wrap around her. I loved your memory and thank you for sharing the adventure. This coming year, I want to adventure by visiting the Sequoias in California. I've never seen them and I'd love to walk among those magnificent trees. Happy Thanks-giving, Julia. Wonderful post. Sign me a forever fan! Big hugs.

The Sequoias will change you forever. They sure did me, perhaps for different reasons.

A post that perfectly captures what it means to seize the opportunity to live fully in the moment during our adventures. Wonderful and humorous as always. I greatly appreciate the nod to Those Who Wander too Julia. To many more adventures. Cheers! 😊

As someone who will NEVER be able to"test the waters"...due to my physical ill health...I Thank You...from the centre of my heart! This action is EXACTLY what I would have taken...if I'd been physically capable...and your description of it...the joy, the freedom, the whole experience...is PERFECT!

So again...THANK YOU! Xx

You are so welcome. Deborah, it's a hard sell to try to get people to see that sometimes life throws us a really awful curveball, and the time to do these things is RIGHT NOW. People just assume that they will be able to do it forever. I've got some limitations, too. I see you and I hear you.

Oh...and thanks for the reply. I like your writing style (whatever that is...Lol) it's easy on my senses and really does give a feeling of...there but for a few curve balls (most unfortunately self inflicted. Sigh) go I. You is talented girl! (Or woman...or what suits U...Lol) Xx
