A quite moment on the sandback turned into dolphins launching themselves through the rising waves of an outside set.

Took a long time to get out, persistent waves breaking in front of me. A repeating appealing left was breaking in front of me, tempting to ride just the shorebreak if I could just get out that far. The waves were rebounding back out a little but not taking me with them. Eventually I made it out to the lineup, two body surfers out there, and a whole lot of unridden waves. The first wave on the outside that I saw out there I wanted to drop in on, and the second I did. Six feet of beautiful blue wave to weave deep turns. Did I have my head under my board for a turn? But then I was inside again, few g-shocks of waves exploding on me and I was ready for coffee at the After Life.

This is me riding a skateboard in sandals after I broke my toe, usually it happens the other way around.

In Herman Melville’s 1852 oceanic adventure, first mate Starbuck architypically represents reason, prudence, and good business sense who calculates mutiny against the obsessed cause of Ahab. While ultimately Starbuck keeps to his role of first mate and does not mutiny, summarized in his statement to Ahab “Fear Not Starbuck, Fear Ahab”, Melville writes Starbuck off sinking with the ship, as he longs to return home to his family.

The symbolism of the Starbuck’s name and logo, the mermaid of the sea, implies that Starbuck was saved and went into the coffee business.

CA has tuff choices, the great snow in the sierras this week has produced great offshore winds for surfing. The ocean is still warmer than the land, but it won’t last long cause the water current is coming from Alaska. Sierra at Tahoe has the biggest base of the year with tons of powder. Ocean Beach is blowing offshore into a 1.5X’s overhead range, the paddle looks reasonable.

I’ve taken Friday off, but where do I go? Today I’m feel stuck in the middle in Sacramento like a deer in CA’s headlights.
