Now Playing: Jimmy Buffet - Son of A Sailor
Funny how 24hrs can change everything. A maragrita has almost the same affect. Winter mornings are not something for general pleasure, but there's something about the way you have to live. Here's the flipside:
You shove the boat off at eight AM, with the sun already starting to burn. The water is at low-tide, and egret on the farthest bank seems so concerned with the tiny whiting that he doesn't recognize your presence. Nor do you give him much time, though in the back of your mind you realize the beauty of the banks, the grass, the egret, and the air. All you need to do is silently let out the anchor and tune the radio. To offset the immediate sweat you've relented to the humidity, your wife hands you a Corona, complete with lime, and she giggles. She calls you 'baby' and you know the day will be just fine. The cast-net goes out with a splash, and you pull in a few shrimp.
Yeah, South Carolina's alright too. :)
