Welcome to the forums, IfthnLi. Which one would you choose? (there is a preposition missing as well)

Thanks, by the way you are right. It is not ''--- out the sea'' it is ''--- out to sea''
First, I thought it was ''gazing'' but then I saw that the sentence is written in past tense and I thought it could be ''having gazed'' too.

You were right first time, it's "gazing".
