With the most active part of the season approaching we eagerly await the big ones to come spinning off the Africa any day. As each day passes, I wonder if the most active part of the season will be the lull. With storms dissipating recently it is unfulfilling to keep watching the weather channel. Hoping for hurricanes. Some people might think I am a little crazy. Not crazy just amazed by the raw, unmanageable power of hurricanes and the conditions they create.
It's all about finding your defining moment-the moment you feel most alive. The memory that stays put after the moment has passed. Every surfer knows those moment-each one longs for the next one. Are you with me?
Nature in its untamable state creates joy for me. Nature is amazing. Nature is balance. And as mankind tries to control its surroundings in everyway, from growing green grass lawns in a dessert, to building a million dollar house on a sand dune too close to the ocean, nature is the one thing mankind will never dictate how, when and where it will present itself... This is the last frontier, always changing always remarkable and definately uncontrolable.
