Dog Days

Summer decided to kick our asses. It's been brutally hot and humid. I can barely sleep at night and I live only a couple blocks from the beach. I can imagine the suffering going on East of I5. Fortunately, there's a silver lining to all this- the ocean water temps have also been nice and high.

Lilly, making the most of it.

It's been warm enough to trunk it on the dawn patrol and mid-day paddles up the beach are sublimely comfortable. It's like the feeling of the tropics where you don't even flinch when you jump into the water, you just go. And when the water gets this warm our jellyfish friends start showing up again. One thing missing: waves. It's gone kind of quiet again and my daily window workday of surfing opportunity is now synchronized with low tide- so I'm pretty much shut down. Summer dog days, rolling into Fall.
