The Escape Pod was ready at Dawn...
down at the Beach today...
I pushed through the Morning Surf...
and cleared the Breakers...
Free from the trappings of the Land...
my arms, not my legs...
took me where i wanted to go...
a nice change of pace...
I slipped quietly across the Sea's face...
and spun the Kayak around...
drinking in the Morning Show...
and deciding where to go...
Seagulls were thick over a small patch of Ocean...
wheeling and diving in the distance...
feeding on the bait something was driving from the depths...
They were almost a mile up the Beach...
and the Mayhem had ceased...
when i arrived...
But the Birds were sitting on the water...
waiting...
and i did the same...
And soon there were splashes and boils and baitfish trying to fly...
A few paddle strokes got me close enough to cast...
Almost immediately my rod bowed up...
and an unseen adversary tried to take it away...
Three pound Bluefish, i thought...
but when the fish finally came to hand it was a small Jack Crevalle...
a Florida fish that rode the warm currents north...
for a late Summer raid on the local baitfish...
The hard pulling Jacks were plentiful...
and i spent a couple of exiting hours chasing them...
across the sea...
just like the Birds...
We had a blast...
