Out

For a Sunday in August it was pretty overcast. I was out the other day and after I got out of the water I needed my sweater. It was still good to be out of the house and in the water.

I was almost going to stay in and sleep some more, but I went to Surf line and saw that that water was really calm and slow. If I didn’t go and get out there it would have been really lame of me. I got myself ready and strapped up my board and got out there.

It was nice, I got a good parking spot and waxed up my board and got in the water. After a while another surfer was coming up to my left in the lineup. I was off my board just playing around. I didn’t want him to think I was going to be a pain. “Don’t worry I will stay out of your way.” I said.

“It’s a lot colder that I thought it was going to be.” He said after a chuckle.

I did move and get out of his way. I was there to keep working on my upper body strength and the only way to do that is to get out there and get on my board and really paddle and swim.

When I was ready to get out I made sure there was no wave any one was trying to catch and I rode a small wave in to the shoreline. I kept my word and did not get in any ones way. I watched as the other stayed in the water longer and after a while I drifted off to sleep in the sand.

Later I woke up, since hunger pains set in. Yeah, like no one ever gets starving hungry after swimming. The morning ended with breakfast by myself. At home it was a lot hotter, good thing I had time to go into the water and get out of the house.
