Oceans of Hope

Monday afternoon we spent an hour reviewing the house with our tenants. They will be staying there the next year.

They felt, like us, that everything has gone very well and so with excitement until the next year, which also presents new challenges for them. 

We wished each other good luck in stepping out of our comfort zones. 

When we got down to the harbor, we boarded the boat. 

It's our home next year. 

Almost per reflex we prepared for departure and when we got out of the harbor, we headed for Tuborg Harbor.

We set sail and had a wonderful sailing in fresh wind all the way to Tuborg Harbor - just what we needed.

Our favorite place was available.

There we lay down and have been lying there ever since. 

We have had lots of visits, bathed, traded, cycled, used the fine bath and toilet facilities and otherwise practiced us as long-distance sailors.

Behind us is a 67 foot sailboat - the Oceans of Hope.

From June 2014 to November 2015, it made a circumnavigation of the Earth with a herd consisting of multiple sclerosis. 

Mikkel Anthoniesen, a doctor at Rigshospitalet's Sclerosis Clinic, is the mastermind behind the project and was also the skipper of the 17-month trip. 

His goal was to show that it is possible to replace hopelessness and despair with courage in life when one is afflicted with disabling and life-threatening illness. 

Could it be much more life-affirming?
