Got in the Water Today--Five Years


I heard my son was going to surf a bit in Oceanside, so I accompanied him. He had a report of 72 degree water. I broke a 5-year streak of being landlocked-in my mind-and we got in the water. Beautiful, calm water, warm, clean. Like a place where you might take a summer vacation. 
We were in about an hour or an hour-and-a-half. I had fins and a boogie board. His board is 7'10", pretty new. 
My right low back gave me lots of grief. I was wearing a snug waist elastic support. But I'll call it a big success. My son did also.
No photos. Oh, crowded beaches today. But for paradise...what can you do?
