my new addiction

I have always had a fascination with all things dealing with the sea. Perhaps it started when I spent many summers in Salem, Massachusetts with my grandparents. Hanging at the beach and then when I was older going on many whale watches and harbor cruises.

Here is the boat my sister, nephew and I took out of Gloucester on the "Perfect Storm" Ride. Yes that is how they advertised it. :)

And there is my love for lighthouses... I believe this came about from my faith as I have grown up hearing the phrase that Jesus is my Lighthouse. As I have grown older, I know this is true and the beacons of light hold a more special place to my heart.

I have said this to say...... My new addiction is all the wonderful nautical, beach and ocean blogs out there in blog world. It's a whole new world I never knew existed. Here are a few of my favorites.
