swimming this morning
within a speedo and goggles
amongst the fish at lydgate
my body hair sweeping like seaweed
the passing whim of water surge…
moving the river litter on the sand bottom
sweeping articulated strokes
gliding across calm water
prone
being observed while observing
whadda deal
flying breatholder amongst waterbreathers
elevated above terra firma
by the benevolent hydrosphere
dream
…ambrose…
the driftwood tells a story
slashed by container ship propellers
bruised from going over snoqualmie falls
chiseled by beaver
swell building wave by wave
so i switch to the mat
i love the way it sticks to my wetsuit
no hood or gloves, just a 4,3 and booties
and googles to watch the baitfish and the bottom
i have got to learn to nail the first turn
if i ride all the way down to the bottom
then i have trouble getting back up the wave
the only mask that works is brightly colored
benevolent leaving of el SOUP
preping to glass ,
discerning that the cartriges I bought dont fit is sobering
the music practice next door shuts down my glassing goals
paddled from home creek to lydgate park
the 12’ers and paddles this morning
waited for fireman friend to get off at 7
BIGGER waves than expected and crazy disorganized swell
no standing up w/ the paddlesuns out and the wind is chrispy fresh
79 is a comfortable trunks andt- shirt day
who needs shoes
nice piece o’ wood on the beach
the plumerias are pumping flowers
the new growth on the mango trees
maybe early set ripening by mid june …
late set mangos likely in august
I salivate
art show set-up
dominates the days activities
there could be a south swell
…ambrose…
very nice sunday evening read…had to show that to the wife…we both swim in the ocean…thanks for the smiles
