… quote

"I hope our generations understand the value of our ocean, because it is ours to take care of. It is our responsibility to look over what belongs to us and to continue our cultural values - learning the skills of navigation. The ocean is the only map we have."

-Sesario Sewralur

Sesario, a grand master navigator, made history by becoming one of the first people ever to explore the bottom of the Yap Trench, according to Blue Prosperity Micronesia.

Once again, it seems to me that the days have just flown by this week. ¹ Anyway, thank you, as always, for reading!
