Well…after running around and getting two rides in into the 20 mph wind, I decided to head out to the beach to play in the waves and, for the first time I can remember, the waves beat me….trying to wade in with the nasty rip across the beach and with the waves that were taller than me, I got knocked down twice just trying to get into deep enough water to swim and then came to my senses after just a dip and struggled out onto the beach…the waves were not only tall but they were wide enough so they just kept pushing on me and it was way more work than I wanted to do…and probably not too smart to swim in those conditions…especially when there was a red flag up that means stay out of the water…so, I survived it but it does depress me a little that I couldn’t conquer the waves…the waves conquered me and that made me feel even older than I do…darn…
