Today, the first day of Summer 2011, was custom made and I'm so thankful that I was able to enjoy it. It was perfect in every way. Temperatures are 5-15 degrees above normal with not a cloud in the sky. The sea breeze was light, barely ruffling the sea while allowing expansive shards of mirror glass to cover the watery playing field.
I had to go into town to run an errand so I planned a round trip paddle, launching at the Yacht Harbor then traveling west to the Lane and inside Cowells. The ocean was as calm and gentle as I've ever seen it. A very special day.
You retired guys have the life! I got home tonight (after sweltering most of the day working outdoors in SJ) to find the fog pouring in fast. I jumped in at NB in cold breezy conditions, with the wind and chop straight onshore. Paddled down to Cowells in lumpy seas with no push whatsoever from the swell or wind. Had to endure the reports of what a beautiful day it was, how warm and nice, etc. Now I get it one more time from you. Sheesh!
