Crows Nest, Blake Sea

If you have ever sailed in the Blake Sea I am sure you have passed by the Crows Nest. It is located right in the middle of the Blake Sea and actually is a great landmark to help you guide yourself in the open sea.

I love just sitting up there and see the boats sail by. Or even planes, helicopters and oh my I also saw a flying man. It is very calming the sea, but sometimes Crow's Nest gets busy too. I just happen to pick a great day so relax here.

I hope you go and check it out on your next sailing adventure or just teleport here and relax.

Wedding Preparations and some relaxation :)

Wow, there is a lot to prepare when you want the proper wedding. We discussed the ceremony and preparing the step by step guide for all those are participating.

There will be a Rehearsal on July 7th, 2015 at 7:30PM SLT at 
the Retreat.

In the meantime, we decided to take a little break and go swimming at the Maison de L'amour. The water is always warm and the waves are calm. So stop by, take a swim.

Maison de l'amour

Maison de l'amour is a place for lovers. A beautiful hillside Tuscan Home overlooking the blue sea. 

It is still a work in progress, but more is coming...this beautiful and relaxing home is also connected to the Resort L'Amour.

Horseshoe Park

Horseshoe Park is a lovely property where you can sit and relax and drink in all the beautiful landscape design by Conte Alchemi. I am so glad I ran into him and he send me some landmarks to explore. Conte is very talented and he has an eye for beauty. I love his work. I will share some of the other places he has helped to beautify on other days.

I was trying to talk to "Carl" the crow.

From here you can sail in the Blake Sea or start your water plane and fly over to Hollywood or Second Norway airports.

Miyu's Island

Want to relax and watch the sunset in pure paradise? Then you must take time out from your busy life and stop by Miyu's Island.
It is romantic, so bring a friend. You can do a variety of things here...swim in the refreshing pool, soak in the hot tub or feast your eyes on the beautiful waves.

There is also dancing here. What are you waiting for? Come visit Paradise :)

Sandcastles and salty tears

At Winter Moon you can dream and relax. I really like the beach setting here. 

"Your arms are my castle 
Your heart is my sky 
They wipe away tears that I cry 
The good and the bad times 
We've been through them all 
You make me rise when I fall."
