Same time, same place

I was at my regular spot on Sunday. I did take time to check out another surf spot before going back to my same old, same old.

The morning was quite grey at first. By 9 am it cleared and was starting to get warm. I have been out all summer and have not gotten that tan. Sure I have an all year long tan; it’s just that I take off when the sun really starts to come out. I always use sun-screen, even if it is overcast. I have learned years ago to take care of my skin.

The day was nice and the surf was mellow. Like it has been for the last month. I was tired from being out the night before. I had gone to the symphony and while it’s not a wild evening it was fun. They had played Beethoven 5th and we had drunk some wine. There was also a fireworks display. That was fun and I got to spend time with a friend I haven’t done anything with in a while, always great to catch up.

The next morning after getting even more tired from being in the water, I relaxed and read on the sand. There was a pod of dolphins again. They stayed a while and I could see two of them jumping out of the water together.

The rest of the week has been so busy for me. We are going out of town this weekend and I will be with mostly men, and nowhere near the ocean. If I hadn’t forced myself to get up early and get going I wouldn’t have been there to see the dolphin and recharge my batteries for this next week.

I will have to wait till a week from tomorrow to go back out again and I will again not pass up the chance to get my board out and take it to the same place. Good thing it will be there waiting for me.
