Brave New Jon – 6am at the beach

So I happened to wake up soon after 4am (not too unusual these days) and headed out to the beach around 5am this morning, for a quiet stroll. I can get down to Nantasket in around 45 minutes now, depending upon traffic – though of course, getting back into town on I-93 is fun if you leave after around 8am, which is another reason to go early.

I lay there for a while, watching the sunrise, ocean sounds in the distance. Very peaceful. Reminded me of lying on a beach in Ventura. I think I need to do this way more often. While I was on the beach, I chatted with a local surfing dude, who recommended that I head to Whitecrest this weekend. I’m thinking that’s a good idea – it almost meets the qualification I’m looking for. Not quite the middle of nowhere, but it’ll likely do for this weekend.

Jon.

P.S. No photos today. Due to what appears to be a bug in the Mac OS X driver for a crappy external card reader I happened to be using, all of the photos were automatically trashed when I inserted the card (the first FAT was corrupted, which was then obviously replaced with the backup, and fsck.msdos was subsequently unable to correct it…great).
