Watershot

For me, another reminder that the texture of life matters. (Look at those bumps, warbles, and ridges.)

Going coastal.

Or, watershot: to feel driven by water, drawn to water, called on by water. To feel most comfortable in, on, or beside the sea, the changing tides, waves and beaches.

In folklore, an affliction associated with mermaids, selkies, and other waterfolk. In sports, an addiction to swimming, diving, surfing, sailing, and fishing. Other symptoms? A special fondness for fish tacos.

(Compare with elfshot.)
