Note to a Friend

I have a hankering for a paddle at Mendocino, just for the sheer
practice and the place, but south and southwest swells make the north
route and even the south route both rough.  

The long drive, yes, but I
miss the caves and the specific landscape . . . .   Just mental
free-falling there.

Monterey has similar problems with a south swell, I think,
particularly if I am out of shape, as I am.  Hmmmmm.

So, I am thinking of good paddle-practice or paddle-experience.

What's your list of objectives or desires for a paddle outing this
coming weekend?

I would like to get wet and to sweat.

A Danish Mermaid: Ophelia Revised

In my version, she lives.
Ophelia survives her madness and suicide attempt.

I'm not sure what would happen when she gets back to Elsinore's great hall, though.
If we entertain this resurrection, what's likeliest?  Or . . . .
"What's your poison?" would be the wrong way to ask what you favor, so I'll just say, What would you favor for Ophelia Revived?

(Ophelia played, this time, by . . .
Medea: stoneware; transparent brown glazing, layered; copper wire.)
