After a not-too-late evening with our neighbors by their outdoor fireplace, and not-too-many beers with same, I wasn't all that excited about the waking up part of getting up to go surf this morning.

But I was out the door by 6:05 and had a nice session. The waves weren't good. Almost good, but not quite. It was, however, stunningly pretty out there. Glassy, light wind, birds soaring, sun streaming through scattered clouds onto a clean and deserted beach. Hard to complain! The best part is that I was out with three other people, all of them friends. So even with mediocre waves, it was a great morning.

Doesn't hurt any that my last wave was my best, and dropped me off considerately in about 6 inches of water.

I love it when that happens.
