Day 7 – Lamplight in the Midnight Yolk 🌊⛵🌠

Five friends on a boat in the Turkish sun,   After ten days of sailing, the trip nearly done.   They grab brushes and buckets, roll up their sleeves,   Laughing together as they clean up the leaves.   Someone turns on the music, their voices start to sing,   As they scrub off the salt, their joy takes wing.  …
