Ashe Island Four Mile

Rained overnight, and the skies remain cloudy. Might have run two hours ago, but waited for the boy to rise. He was fishing on the pier until 2:00 AM, so you have to cut him a break. We woke him up, though, because he said yesterday he'd really prefer not to run on his own.

Sunscreen is a big del, I sat out a good part of the day yesterday, under the tent (it's not really a tent, it is a suspended sail, amazingly simple and effective technology) reading and not getting in the water. The wife and I discussed this yesterday, neither of us think we'll ever get into the waves again. It's too risky. Is that a sad thing? I don't know.

Into the wind and into the sun for two and a half-miles, at four we decided to take our shoes off and walk in the surf.

Now he's talked me into going into the water. Every day includes the possibility for change.
