Quiet Bay Shawl // designed by Ruth Nguyen
Sunrise at the edge of the harbour, with foamy waves lulling us into meditation, is an inspiration of light, sound, and colour. Rippling water dazzles with prysmatic hues and the horizon is illuminating with long striations of sea-touched clouds. Every minute seems to reveal a new sense of wonder and we are called to push off from the docks into the world of adventure and discovery.
