A Spanish sunrise remembered in a world confused by strife, separation, and anger. Please just let us have our sailboat ⛵️ on turquoise water; a breeze to sail by; and above all peace... • • • #lifeoutloud #spain #dreams #couplesgoals #mediterranean #memories #love #amor #elmar #sea (at Torrevieja) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB0LuVKA94x/?igshid=wxjbwdk2ftt2

I am really not sure what more can be said about the year 2020. #lifeoutloud (at Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA-k34-Akyu/?igshid=16xe420fu6mss

Sitting in suburban Jacksonville, Florida, on the 5th of May and remembering waking up to a sunrise at anchor near the Gulf of İzmir, Turkey, just a few years ago. Memories that are as vivid as the palate of colors in the morning sky tease me with dreams of adventures to come... • • • #lifeoutloud #tbt #sailing #boatlife #turkey #izmir #ig_turkey #memories #sunrise #travel #sea #elmar #deniz (at Urla Cesmealtı) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_0C4ZAALYx/?igshid=eczrxcuj0v8u

Good morning May... The liquid gold of a sunrise over water is something I will never grow tired of. Weekend refit projects continue with the hopes that S/V Booby Trap will be ready to sail away in 7 months. ⛵️ • • • #lifeoutloud #sunrise #sailing #boatlife #florida #ig_florida #morning #hope (at Black Creek Marina) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_rv_C_gm0r/?igshid=jqnoappsz8kk

Remembering the beauty of the tulips 🌷 of İstanbul in April. This was one of my most memorable trips and came just a few weeks after I left America. Few people know that tulips were first cultivated in Turkey and then exported to Holland. This display was the world’s largest tulip “carpet” planted in the stunning park between the Blue Mosque and the Haggai Sophia, which are arguably the most beautiful structures in the city. I’m sure this year’s floral displays are just as beautiful, though visitors and locals cannot enjoy them like in the past. One day I hope to return to this fascinating city and will do so in the spring. 🇹🇷 • • • #lifeoutloud #travel #istanbul #ig_turkey #flowers #tulips #mosque #haggiasophia #bluemosque (at Istanbul, Turkey) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_YHvvlglbp/?igshid=1gschi8barxso
