A yellow and white personal watercraft jet ski skims across grey-green harbour water, throwing a spray wake. Two riders sit on it: one in a dark blue top and cap at the rear, and one in a dark life vest in front. Large white motor yachts and a tall-masted sailing vessel are moored along a stone quay in the background under a hazy sky. The image shows no ritual, discourse or ashram activity.
