after a day fighting fierce flames and feeling the weight of the world on our shoulders, it's the hushed moments on the boats that we cherish, where the water's gentle lap against the hull serves as a reminder of the calm after the storm. we eschew any talk of the fire's antecedent, choosing instead to reflect on the teamwork that pulled us through. there's a theory among us that sometimes, to move forward, you need a moment of silence to redo your thoughts and focus on the serenity of nature. these quiet escapes on the boats become our sanctuary, a testament to the resilience and quiet courage that define us.
