Travel as we do, drive as we may, whenever we approach the seashore, there is a specific ambiance to the open oceans of the world.

Like entering a garden filled with blooming gardenias or coming across an outdoor barbeque or whiffing the blown-out candles of a birthday cake, the smell of the ocean is distinct and unique.

The ocean invites us, welcomes us, and beckons us to enjoy its depths and its denizens.
