Into the Deep: Love of the Ocean & Water

I have lived on Cape Cod for 40 years now. The ocean is a mile in either direction from my home.

The ocean has always been my sanctuary during troubled times and to just find peace in nature.

The wildlife is my passion. The days of being able to physically help return stranded whales and dolphins back to the sea are gone but I can still sit with the ones who wont make it back and make their transition a lil easier. We have oodles of cold stunned turtles in the winter who wash up on the shore and need to be taken to the wildlife center for treatment. This winter we had a lost puffin in need of care and a lost manatee who needed to be returned to warmer waters.

The great white sharks are intimidating and sharing the waters with them has become an art form. We have an abundant seal population and often share space with them while sunning on the beach.

There s just something about being on or near the ocean that feels like home. It could be fishing, boating, sailing, surfing, para-sailing, swimming, watching the sunrise or sunset, searching for seashells or sea glass, or just walking on the beach - it is home. It is where I feel at peace.

I remember years ago when I went diving in Massachusetts waters as well as Newport and Little Compton, I always wore a knife on my leg. People teased me that there were no sharks what was the knife for. I didn't bring a knife to kill a shark for god's sake. You never know when you might get tangled up in something or other, maybe seaweed or some such shit. It just made sense to me. And there most certainly were sharks. Maybe not so many white sharks like you see today. The booming seal population has changed a lot, especially in Cape Cod waters and is infinitely more attractive to the white shark.

Massachusetts Bay has some unique properties I think. There's an underwater plateau, Stellwagen Bank, that makes a kind of nutrient filled more shallower area surrounded by deep water that is so attractive to tons of fish and mammals. I think it's what makes whale watching so awesome in the area.

I miss the ocean.

I too enjoy the ocean. It's been awhile since I last went down to the coast, but a friend of mine gave me an unusual birthday present last year. It's a device that plays an natural recording of sound waves, that the ocean makes as waves crash upon the shoreline. And ever so often, you can hear other sounds, like sea gulls crying as they ride the air thermals above the ocean. The sound recording lasts about 2 hours and I listen to it each night, before I fall asleep. It's so lovely to hear, each night.

I was just listening to the same type of track on youtube the other day. Instant relief. The sound of the waves is amazing therapy for the mind and soul.

I am forever walking upon these shores,
Between the sand and the foam,
The high tide will erase my footprints,
And the wind will blow away the foam,
But the Sea and the Shore will remain
Forever

“The surface of the Earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean. On this shore, we've learned most of what we know. Recently, we've waded a little way out, maybe ankle-deep, and the water seems inviting. Some part of our being knows this is where we came from. We long to return, and we can, because the cosmos is also within us. We're made of star stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.”

― Carl Sagan, in Cosmos
