My day off...

Ooo look. Water. I'm going to go for a swim. What a good idea.

Getting the toes wet. Strange feeling. It's the first swim for the season. It's also a bit cold. Was this really a good idea?

Look out for that wave. You'll get dumped you fool. Dive, quick. Wheeee....
Ahhh, past the breakers into calmer waters. Brrrrrr. It's freakin' cold. Yep, they're goosebumps on my arm. I think today was not the best day for a swim. Most of the beaches are closed due to rough conditions.
Phew. Breather. Happy... Oh crap, is that the shore all the way back there? Damn, time to turn around and paddle back.
There were also some humpback whales offshore today doing crazy tail slapping and breaching. When I did get back on shore, I watched them playing around. Must have been at least 3 of them. Sweet. It's actually the first time I've experienced humpbacks being so active.

I like my new 'burb.

humpback viewing from your own doorstep!!! the envy I feel is enormous, but I also like you so I have to feign some kind of "wow! You're so lucky" vibe. Pffft. I saw a camel yesterday. It was butt ugly
