Dang the water was cold today! And it didn't help
that I forgot my cap... my gloves...AND my booties!

I was pretty excited because I was supposed to meet
another bodyboarder to surf with today. So, I guess I
wasn't paying attention when I was packing my gear so
I left half of my stuff outside drying. Plus... I never
did see my new pal (sorry Bill) ::sigh::

Surf was smallish again today....but still fun. I'm
getting much better at steering and I think that when
there are some bigger waves, I might even be able to
steer pretty well! I practiced for about 3 hours again
today. But I finally had to get outta the water because
I couldn't hold onto my board anymore since my fingers
were like.... stuck in some weird,clawlike pose and I
couldn't straighten them out. It was kinda freaky and I
had a little trouble walking back to the car since my fee
t
were pretty numb as well. The worse part was
when I realized that I couldn't hold the key to my car
tightlyenough to turn the lock! lol My fingers were reall
y,
really that cold! I finally managed to open the car and
somehow peel off my wet gear and pull on some sweats.
Then I sat in the car with the heater going full blast for

about 20 minutes until I could move my fingers normally.
Man! That was sooo freaky. I've been home for several
hours and I still feel chilled to the bone.

But.... I'm goin back tomorrow.... with boots, gloves
and my hoodie of course!
