Went to the Ride a Wave camp today. Bearing in mind that I yearn for the beauty of the ocean, understandably I looked forward to having a great time.

Noisy eager kid did not know how to lie down for boogie board initially, hindering dear boy's enjoyment of the waves. By the time I went boogie boarding later with Dennis, irrefutable total delight swept over my heart. My head heard dear ocean's call to come ride yet another determined wave that swept us gloriously back on the sand each time.

Notably surfing definitely deadly fun. Dear volunteers taught me how to lie down and paddle. Near the cliffs ascending the harmonious waves began. Beautiful harmony effectively existed between the surfer and the great waves. Giddy with joyous happiness was I standing on the surfboard, dear ocean surrounding me. Fear vanished, destroyed by mother nature's goodness. Definitely dream come true for me.

Veteran kayaker Chris took me out to sea in the kayak. Could not take my eyes off the ship and the sea. dear volunteer took me further than others. Unsatiated need for ocean fulfilled at least for this day.

Adrienne was my lovely beach buddy with the heart of a poet. Understood sensible kids needs and encouraged youngsters. Veritable delight was this day for me.
