The sea is the epitome of all things romantic. How many romantic scenes are etched out against the back drop of the sea, cultivated along the lazy sailing along the coast, or are brought to life along the lagoons of the islands? The sea holds many romantic images for most of us, and that romantic call is enough for many of us to go chasing after the mystery it holds.
The mystery of the sea has also been the setting for some of the most dramatic and unrelenting stories of our time. People die looking for the sea’s magnificence, and in most cases it has nothing to do with inexperience or ill preparedness. It is the nature of the sea to give us beauty one moment and to give us its worst possible scenario in the next moment.
The sea retains it magic despite all it can dish out because it is the one place where beauty collides with romance, even when it turns scary. The sea is not the pathway to dragons and the end of the world the way it once was, but in all that serenity and that unpredictability it can be one of the most tantalizing experiences of your life. And perhaps that is why so many of us run back to it over and over again. The magic of the sea will forever be romantic, no matter how many good sailors go down with their ship and no matter how much it dishes out a little more than most of us can handle. It is our stage for romance, and we keep it there in our minds and hearts.
