Sailing Day
What Sailing Day smells like
Sharp aldehydes and salt spray over dry cedar, evoking the blinding glare of the open ocean, for a midday yacht excursion.

Salt spray hitting a boat deck · Sun-warmed skin after a swim · Freshly laundered white shirts drying in a sea breeze · The metallic tang of ocean air · Distant scent of juniper berries on a coastal path · A memory of a childhood beach trip
