I can hear the sound of the surf as I write this. The moon is higher in the sky, and out of my sight.

I spent the day at a dog beach with the basic amenities, but just about no people at our end. The ocean was three shades of green and two shades of blue … something the pictures don’t show. I found three hag stones and some shells not seen on the other beaches I’ve visited. And there was shade – so I didn’t have to hide from the sun.

Tonight, old friends and new are boon docking together, anticipating the sunrise. I must get to sleep – something difficult for me to manage around the time of full moons.
