I’ve been near some sort of water all of my life. Whether it has been a lake or a creek behind my house, or summer vacations at on the coast, I’ve loved smelling it just in the air around me. Here hasn’t been any different. Sometimes I just feel dried up and the only cure is water- water relief.
It could be a quick snorkel for curiosity’s sake, a long swim for exercise, a big dive for raging chuchaqui (hangover), or a mud bath just for fun. Here I sometimes feel antsy and unhappy if I miss a day of swimming. Sometimes just a touch will do and sometimes you just gotta romp around doing midnight intertidal survives while holding a cold Pilsener can in one hand and a flashlight in the other-chitons, sea slugs, and brittle stars, Oh My! But nothing can beat SCUBA. We had our first SCUBA here. We swam along the rocky subtidal reefs and then made it to the shipwreck in the bay. You just can’t beat swimming with balloon fish around the same size as you, and nothing can follow it up except a wetsuit dance party as we make our way back to shore.
We’re closing in on November and therefore have passed the halfway mark. The time has flown and currently it feels like it’s flowing even quicker.
