| Placid sunset evening. Ideal for a stand up stick cruise. St. Martin River, 8/1/2024. |
An outdoor rack for our SUP boards make it very convenient to just grab and go. Then why don't I do it more? Unlike our lower than average ocean temps, and shore break that has limited surf time, when it comes to a paddle... no excuses. Really need to get out more. Very chill. Helps to stem the stress of the day. And good for the core. Tonight was a quick trip around Tern Island, the bird sanctuary right off the residential areas of Tern Circle. East-Southeast and back, with a quick side trip down Moonshell/Lookout Canal. The paddle back put me right in line with the orange, red, and pink glow of the sun drop. Like a exploding dissipation of the strain of the day. Could feel the atmosphere let out a sigh and settle down. Me? Same. Really need to do this more often.
Well it ain't no mystery
Just laid back and feelin' free
And if you wonder where I'll be
Just keepin' it low key.

Fancy Papers. Pretty sure a nod to the Tampa Cuban cigar industry. When I think of Hazy, I think of warm waters. Summer temps.
Cigar City Brewing. Tampa, FL. Cuttin' grass. Tangerines. White Sangria. Nose full of the South. Flavors of lime, melon, guava. Telltale citrus with hopped resin playing the yin yang thang with subtle malts. 6.5 ABV. 60 IBUs. Fresh finish that left me wanting after the evening's paddle. B+ rating. Bring on another. Cheers!
