froodleSo, where I live looks right out over the bay, and every year around Easter time the village commisioners put this raft out - it's wooden and it has raised benches and a little well for your feet and it floats because there are giant blue barrels underneath it, and it's anchored about twenty feet into the sand so it can't float away.
It went out on Monday, and I have been DYING for a nice enough day to go for a ride on it - before school gets out and it's overrun with little kids.
Today was that day. It was GREAT, you guys - I timed it just right, when the tide was coming in, so I only had to wade a few feet to get to it and then I just sat there and jumped off and jumped on and jumped off and sunbathed and read my book and watched the world go by while the tide came in around me and then came out again. I left my shoes on the beach and nobody even stole them while I was messing around either.
Afterwards I walked to the next village to get fish and chips from this awesome shack - I don't mean the shack is awesome, because it's a shack, but damn, they are good fish and chips! I got straight out of the water and started walking, and it was warm and breezy enough that my clothes just dried on me before I was even half-way there.
Next time I think I'll listen to Buzz when he says to wear a wetsuit though - I didn't see any jellyfish, but some seaweed brushed against my leg while I was in the water and I wigged. Jellyfish suck, dudes. What is the point of them?
Also, I've been reading those books I was talking about before with the Hellblazer/Dresden lovebaby. They're great, and that description is pretty much dead-on. I'm going to take the fifth one to bed with me now. Night all!
