Why
did I go out? It was flat. There was no swell -- just a few small ripples
coming through the Patch. But it was a gorgeous morning, no wind, smooth as
glass surface with a few ospreys circling overhead. They would glide high above
us, pause in the air by fluttering their wings and then dive for fish.
Hank
had just returned from a trip to Florida and hadn’t surfed in a week and was
going out no matter what. I hadn’t surfed since last Wednesday and was anxious
to get back in the water. DB the Safeway checker and David who rides the Becker
board also decided to go out at the Patch. Jacek the tattoo artist and a friend
headed for the Seadrift side of the Channel. I decided to join the crowd at the
Patch just for some exercise. That’s DB paddling out to the Patch in the above
photo to join Hank at the outside rock.
Bill
from Berkeley joined us on his water ski. He informed us that he was preparing
for a watercraft (any non-motor thing that floats) contest at Streamers Lane in
Santa Cruz next weekend.
The
waves weren’t anything to write about, but we all exercised our arms and
enjoyed the morning.
