Take the first ferry to the nearest island and the last one back
“There is a moment after the ferry leaves without you when you realise you cannot go home early even if you want to. The day opens up right there.”
The Recipe
- Find the nearest island with a passenger ferry and book nothing else: just the crossing.
- Take an early boat so the whole day is in front of you when you land.
- Walk away from the harbour and its cafés before you decide anything.
- Follow the coast in one direction and let it, not a map, choose your route.
- Eat whatever the island has rather than what you would pick at home.
- Get to the far side, or as far as the day allows, and turn back with time to spare.
- Be at the harbour early for the last ferry: missing it is a real problem, not a story.
- Watch the island go small from the back of the boat.
