I was just lamenting the fact that the passing equinox (Sept 22nd) has officially killed our ability to get out in the water after work. One of the most wonderful aspects of living in the bay area is the late light during our summer months. in July, we can literally hit the beach by 7:00 PM, and stay out in the water until 9:00 without compromising our safety. Alas, the dog days of summer come to a close, and dawn patrol rears its ugly head. Hot_Hands and I have been out a few times before work, but a 5:30 AM wake-up call comes fast and raw, and seriously impinges on normal evening activities.

Hopefully next weekend will be less crowded than last Saturday... pray for fog and wind! :-)
