went though something similar (more than once), but I was along the Atlantic. the tide was unruly but for a moment I wanted to peacefully let it take me.

also had about 4 beers.

this was quite the arresting piece, Jimmy

Thank you for sharing this. I've done this too, farther north but same ocean, beer & ideation. Writing helps. Beer, not so much.
