The ocean can see really well today

That sounds like the title of a Tom Waits song, doesn't it?

Here was my session today:

Head high waves. Getting out no picnic. Had to do back to back turtle dives which I HATE, no time to catch your breath, plus something weird was going on where the board slipped away from me on turtles which never happens. But it did today more than once.

On one wipeout where I either turtled or didn't, or maybe did too late, I forget, the wave knocked both of my contact lenses out. Both. That's a first.

I went home and managed to replace both of them one-handed---not easy!---because I didn't want to take both gloves off. Then I put the wet glove back on and went back out.

More strange wipeouts, more holddowns. I didn't get a single wave. All I was getting was wiped out. And in water this cold, that's brutal. There was no question about how tired I was going to be that night, and not from having fun, just from getting beat up.

And then a wave knocked the second set of contact lenses out. Both of them.

Well, that was it. No waiting for hypothermia striving to get at least one ride.

Session over, and if you find two sets of blue-green contacts in the water, they're mine.
