There is nothing better than salt in the air and sand in my hair (what's left of it).

Jet Lag + Waves

Not the best combination, but I’ll take it.  Waves were chest to head high this morning with no wind.  Water warmed up a bit too, no hood required.   I’m glad I went today, the weekend is looking a little wind blown .

Diversion

Diverted to Chicago. Fuel leak. Oh well. Time to have a JD black label and watch the end of the UNC - Kansas game. Not a total loss

Dallas Terminal D Rocks

Why can't all airport terminals be this nice.

Sunday Funday

I couldn't go, but Steve tells me there were some fun little snappers this morning. I'm on my way to Germany for the week, at least they have good beer.

The Parade

No surf this morning, so I went to the 54th annual Swallow’s Day Parade with my grandkids.  It’s the largest non-motorized parade in the country.

Better Than Chicago

Got back late last night and had to get wet this morning.  So I paddled out by myself a 6:20.  There were a few choice belly to chest high nuggets early this morning.   Caught a couple of waves before Jeff and Hawaiian Phil joined me.   The bay was the way this morning, for sure.

Kinda Funky At First

A little too much tide and some warble on it, but it cleaned up really quick.   Turned out to be a pretty good morning for me (we won’t talk about the left I ate it on).   I’m not saying I had the magnet, but I got lucky a few times.   Unfortunately luck never gives; it only lends.
