this morning i took zack to the beach early..yesterday i met up with a friend around 1pm and it was deadly hot, even in the shade. i can't stand tv anymore since we're finally turned loose in waikiki so not going out due to heat is not an option. so we packed up early and hit the sand by 7
we have a handful of mermaid lady friends (the guys stop by too) who report in early as well, we sit on the wall and jabber about nothing. usually they snorkel or boogie, we fed the fish this morning and that delighted the hell outta z
the last week of waves has been pretty crappy at least when we've made it over so it was particularly painful to see them firing, in sets of four and five, every few minutes. the wave faces were high, peaked, clean and perfect..and plenty of them. surfers were pausing and picking which one they wanted. i sat in the shade with z and drooled.
J must have felt sorry for me or seen the crazed look in my eyes, she had snorkeled earlier and had told me she'd seen some jellies on the other side of the wall so that ruled out letting z splash around in the shallow water. little bastards will camp out in the sand. she offered to watch z and give me 'five waves'.
i wasn't wearing a suit..,and i know better than to go to the beach without stuffing a suit in his diaper bag, just in case. but i was wearing a cropped tshirt and a knee length skirt. the panties were too light colored to pass for swimsuit or not offend. i tried on a pair of shorts offered to me by one of the local guys who rent out the boards but it would have wound around me twice and i knew i still would have lost his shorts..not a good thing.
so i asked them how much to rent a board for 20 minutes, they hand one to me with a pair of very comfy fins and tell me to go have fun.
there i was plunging into the water with skirt and shirt on. i noticed a few curious looks from tourists..but a mermaid must go to the water. was out there long enough to greet everyone, get a few waves, and relax the entire body for the rest of the day. people who do drugs are dumb. they should just surf.
cruised past two jellies on my way out but it's funny how you don't think about jellies and sharks when you are in the water..

ReplyDeletei want to "grow up" to be just like this...although the beauty is that you won't even grow old doing things like this
