Oct 26, Monday....
It was a Frisbee night tonight, which means I'm high right now on endorphins. Some weekends around here are amazing. This was one of them. There's this energy out here for me that is probably no more than being in good shape and the power of the sun. I think everyone feels it in Ohio or maybe anywhere outside the tropics, I certainly did. Winter, slowed me down. I welcomed it because of that. I wanted rest. I wanted a great excuse to chill, because as long as the sun is out, I'm on the move. I think about it now, for 12 years I not only moved 28,000 thousand pounds of firewood at least 3 times before winter, I also cut it up and split it with an axe too(ok there was one month I borrowed my friends wood splitter cause it was all knotty pine). 84000 pounds of wood I moved in basically in the months of April and May. That's when the sun comes back.
The sun never leaves here. It's always like the Midwest in July or August, complete with the humidity. Its a never ending humidity here though. There are no cold fronts coming through and sweeping away the humidity for brief moments. There is not winter to let you rest.
I've only been passed on a bike twice on this island, and I caught up with one of them. Solar powered Ben
Here are some pics from the Swashbuckler's Ball.

| The view looking east from the Yacht Club. $60 a year membership ...so many benefits. The best one being the free use of the Sunfish and the Hobie Cat. |
