Livin’ it up in sunny Washington

stand back… I’m about to do some science!
I have always loved the sea, felt attached to it, can’t bear to be away from it for too long. Now that I’ve been actually living by the sea for more than a month, studying it, being aware of the tides and winds and the currents, I feel more connected than I ever thought possible. I’m starting to have a feel for the water column, for the subtlest fluctuations in temperature and salinity. The swell under the boat speaks to me. I can get engrossed in the epic tale told by the plots I work up on the screen of my computer, because all I have to do is look up and there is Old Man Ocean, who wrote the book I read. That’s why I have to go swimming.
God it’s beautiful here.
