Sailing

(I took this shot on the sailboat overlooking The Highlands and a lighthouse)
Had a once in a lifetime opportunity to travel on a 65 ft. sailing boat for 3 days in the Hebrides islands off the west coast of Scotland. They are little known, isolated islands that is home to deep-rooted history and varying populations of 100 people.
Maxwell started the Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust, a non-profit research and educational group focused on cutting edge dolphin and whale research off the coast of Scotland (yes, there are tons of varying species of whale and dolphin here. I had no idea, and most don't.)

The weather was perfect for 3 days, slept on a boat the entire time and worked on board with 5 other Scots. From a cultural outlook, it couldn't have been more original and refreshing. If anyone has sailed before, you know it's the epitome of teamwork. I was hugging everyone by the time I got off the boat because we all worked so closely together. We'd sit together in the evening, full moon overhead with the sun slowing setting over the endless ocean, laughing and telling stories.

The Lord continues to make availabe the most obscure opportunities to experience His world, the diversity of His people, and the expansion of Kate and myself's love and passion for the mission of Christ.
