"Every mother I have ever carried has done the same thing within the first few minutes. She stops. Whatever she was holding onto — the week, the worry, the long list of things that needed doing — she sets it down. Her shoulders drop. She looks out at the water and she is, for the first time in a while, just here."
— JADA
Twenty-eight people at most. The whole western horizon. The bay doing what it does in May. Afternoon departure from the Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina on Harbor Island — boarding time confirmed upon reservation.
This is not a crowded tour boat. This is JADA — 88 years old, 65 feet of teak and brass, the most intimate and beautiful yacht on this water. The kind of gift that holds.
