Dear Friends,
This winter has been unusually warm here. It is a bit bizarre, and I worry about how this might impact local ecosystems. But it makes for nice ocean adventures.
I am sharing a more close-up photo of my best wave from last month (photo by Cliff Schumacher). I also am sharing screen grabs from video of a nice SUP outing from last month. It was so warm that we jumped in the water to cool off!
I was sort of hoping for more typical winter weather, to feel the chill and have some more cozy rain days. But it is March, and the forecast is all mild to warm for the next ten days. I know we are fortunate to have such a pleasant clime when much of the country has had a harsh winter. It just feels a bit odd that we never really had any of our typical winter, except some stormy days.
This wasn’t supposed to be about the weather. I got carried away…
To be able to enjoy the ocean in these ways started six years ago, when I was finally able to tell Tara that I wanted to learn how to snorkel. Spelling opened up this world for me. So did my family learning more about apraxia, which helped them better support me in learning new skills. And I am so appreciating all I have learned from Erin at Sunrise Therapies and the Waves4All team. I am still in awe of all I can do in the ocean now.
What is something you enjoy now that once was just a dream?
Your Friend,
Danny
