Half Moon Bay @ Jetty, 5 June 2009

I don't have time to write about today's dawn patrol, but if a picture is worth a thousand words, a video must be worth a million. Here are two.

C catches a wave. Nice to finally meet an e-friend in meatspace.
He recognized my board (Nemo is distinctive), paddled up and said "hi."

Dawn at the beach. Air almost 50 degrees, water slightly warmer. Full moon hanging over the ocean, sun rising from the hills. Swell gently lifting my surfboard a little closer to the sky as it passes by on its way to touch the beach. Icy water trickling down the front of my wetsuit. Feet going numb from the cold despite neoprene booties and thermal socks. Two dolphins in the lineup chase silver fish, who leap into the air in a swirling mass, sparkling in the first rays of the sun. Then "pwwwfff!" as another dolphin surfaces and exhales not a dozen feet from me, before gracefully sliding back under the water. What a great way to start the day!
