swimmin's good....

Have been swimmin' most every day. Water's soooo smooth and wonderful---and great tranparency. 82F every time I head out.

Ayer took a swirl around the sailboats, talking to the folk on board. One said he's come here now for 11 yrs from southern Calif.

My only regret was the it got dark and had to return.

Usually head out to the Rocks when the sun's near setting and the great ball 'sets' between my legs.....

Seriously, though, being out on the seas of the planet, floating on your back with no movement, letting the rhythm of the planet itself lift you, lower you---nowhere else on the planet are you as in touch with the energy of the planet.

If you lie down on the ground, part of your body is not touching the earth, thus a part of your body is not directly touching its energy. But, on the water, floating, 100 % of your body is 100% alingned with the energy of the earth.

And, to be out on the most primordial part of the planet, the seas that once covered all, suspended, allowing it to pulsate under you, rock you, lift you, is an experience that all should know.

I can think of no other place or experience that allows our bodies to be 100% connected to the pulsations of the planet. Can you?

And to top this off, to then be doing this at sunset, yes, spread eagle and motionless while the planet revolves at 1,045 mph (1,675 Km/h)and watching the sun lower as the planet turns upward, enlarges the experience of connection with the Universe. A bucket experience...

If anyone would like me to accompany you out to do this, just let me know. If anyone would like me to help you learn to FLOAT without movement (a thing not many can do and which can save your life in the sea), just let me know.

Btw, the speed of the earth's revolution depends on where one is on the planet. The above speed is for the equator. It diminishes the further one is from the equator.

Thanks, Anne,
Very inspiring!
I too, love being out in the sea. I'm not a floater but completely at home and discovering relaxation as I do the crawl. Usually in the am before the wind an a quick review just before sunset.
