IMMERSE YOURSELF
I can't help myself. When I see a solitary boat in a cove
my mind starts leaping through, where did it sail from, where is it bound, how did they choose this berth and those
all lead to the perpetual question, what would it have been like to sail into a new land for the first time?
BTW sailing this part of the California coast is tricky and dangerous, so anyone putting into San Simeon has navigated some difficult water and shoals.
SPEAKING OF THE WATER
A dear friend visited from the Washington DC area recently. Before coming he inquired about swimming in the Pacific. He and I have both shared the Atlantic chill, but when I told him the average water temperature was mid to high 50's he opted out. Hey Frank-look at these guys-
--they are either too young to know better or from some
northern clime, where 59 degree water feels good!!!!
My thanks to the BBC and several friends who suggested
this video would make a great WEEKENDER :) treat.
IT REALLY IS A WONDERFUL WORLD
Thanks to Sir David as well.
Enjoy the weekend.
See you down the trail.
THNX Tom, you do have a wonderful world there.
ReplyDeleteWE in Indiana are among the man suffering 103 degrees of Summer... all the way from Chicago to Florida. But... NEXT week the temp will drop, to 80's. Salvation is that ConditionedAir inside.
Soon it will be change of season. Soon. -w- Too Bad Frank did not approve of you water temps. -w-
I suggested he try it with a wet suit, like the surfers.
DeleteThis lingering midwest weather pattern reinforces the argument that one of the most significant inventions of the past century was air conditioning. Consider: would the South be as populous today without the Big Chiller? Of course not (and many, many other areas of the U.S. and world). Some argue the automobile, others the computer, still others the microchip. To me, it's air conditioning - hand down.
ReplyDeleteYou have been really hammered by horrible heat this summer. I can understand your listing of AC as high as you did. I guess magic fingers beds didn't make your cut list huh? Stay cool out there friend.
DeleteThanks for sharing this marvelous video. I 've loved this song since the first time I heard a Louis A recording of it. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteSatchmo's rendition almost always brings a little mist to my eyes!
DeleteThat first photograph brings forth memories of Gardner McKay!
ReplyDeleteTell Frank he's a woosie. My uncle used to swim in San Francisco Bay every day of the year!
