It's been ages since I have been out windsurfing. When I was looking over my blog I noticed that there was only one entry devoted to windsurfing. That's not enough. So today I grabbed the windsurfer and headed out on the water. I need to find a good windsurfing club. Since I'm not hanging out with Jim anymore, I don't have a windsurfing buddy. And it's dangerous - and stupid - to go out on the water without a buddy looking out for you. But I did it anyway. It was really fun. It was cold and windy today. A good day to be out on the water. I need to wind surf more.
I'll be padding with paddle-girl tomorrow.
I think it will be hard to wake up. I've been sleeping well. And eating well, since Heidi took off. And since Lynn is single again. No more waking up at insane hours of the morning. It's weird. I thought it might have been the jet lag, but I seem to have found peace - for the first time in a long time. It feels so good.
I've been cooking again - for myself. And it's been good. Life is returning to normal.
In a completely unrelated topic, does anyone know how to get the funk out of a wetsuit?

Wild Turkey Bourbon - 101 proof. A wonderful anesthetic for the soul. And it comes in really large bottles, too.

19 - Adele - Can't call this pop, its more of a Blues Jazz fusion - a bunch of tasty tunes with good vocals and great sax riffs. Worth a listen.

Back in the day, I used to put my wetsuit in a tub of warm water with a couple of caps of dish detergent, rinse it really well and air dry it. You can also buy products at the surf shop for that. Organic soaps are best.
So glad you have found some peace, You deserve it. :)
I'm glad to hear that things are getting back to normal for you! Atleast one of us is sleeping! Anymore news on Heidi?
If airing it out doesn't work, try Mirazyme. It's made by the McNett corporation and you should be able to find it easily enough in several outdoors stores or online. It was originally designed to get the funk out of wetsuits. Link here: http://www.rei.com/product/694530
PS: The Hubmeister and I are thinking about taking up paddleboating and/or kayaking. Any recommendations for utter noobs?
Email me if you like. :)
PS: Glad to hear you are getting back to normal. Normal is good! :)
You were never worried about wet suit funk before paddle-girl.
Maurizio: Hahaha!! That made me laugh!
Petunia, I've been cleaning with soap - and even a dilute bleach solution, and still stinkies. Thanks for the comment.
Violet, sorry to hear you're not sleeping. Not a peep from Heidi.
Arch, I'll look up mirazyme. As for a newbie paddler - find a local paddle shop and take a couple of classes. Make sure you get all the safety aspect down. Then rent all the different boats you can. Kayaks are more like apparel than vehicles - they need to "fit". Some shops will apply your rental charges to a purchase. I spent a year renting before I bought my first boat.
Maurizio, I always worried about the funk.
Petunia, it's not that funny.
Rich, I've been in your truck. You didn't care about the funk. Trust me. Your truck's been funky for a long time now.
