Little Hairy- Part 2

I awoke early, feeling cold and stiff. The fire had died completely during the night as a dense fog settled in. Peeking my head out of my 40 degree sack I saw a pink glow outlining the crown of rock surrounding the cove. I still wanted sleep so I knelt awkwardly next to the fire, added a few logs, and started huffing without much success. H meandered over a few minutes later- and being a part of the crowd who had arrived earlier the evening before- had his senses about him and took control of the fire.

Two or three hours later I awoke again feeling much more refreshed and hopped up energetically to check out my surroundings. The tide had gone down substantially overnight and aqua waters lapped lazily on the gray sand. The sky was a dazzling jay blue and the sun had almost reached our corner of the cove. We threw a few brats on the fire and after a light breakfast of cereal bars, trail mix, and fruit I was ready for the first activity of the day.

When you subject yourself to a workout a la Big V, you know that you are going to wake up sore for a few days. He did not hold back. We did a wide range of lunges, jumps, push-ups, rock weight exercises, and jogging followed by some simple yoga. The sun, salty air, sandy feet and secluded location offered the perfect meditation in motion and I felt amazing. We slowed down for a few minutes- but as is typical with myself and Big V, we couldn't stay still for long.

The rest of the morning and early afternoon included a hike to an adjacent cove, veggie tacos, and a blissful nap under the blazing sun. I have epic tan lines to prove it.

The video has been completed- but the damn budget windows movie maker won't let me publish- so I'm in a frustrating holding patter and will leave you with this picture for now...


Just as we hit the crest to the adjacent cove a small bi-plane swooped low over-head in a fly-by that would have made Indiana Jones proud.
