The Ocean – Again

stocky hawkfish

Went out for a swim at about 9:30 this morning. While it was still calm. I was hoping to catch up with the dolphins, but they had other plans. But, I was happy with my swim. And, I just knew that I had captured this great hawkfish. So, I was getting cold and decided to swim back in…

Dinner. It will feature a baked potato. And cheese. And salsa. Lots of salsa. And beer.
