Eating Sand

 

Kaneohe Marine Base was about five miles north.  We got to know it a bit as it has a wicked body surfing beach.  We acquired permits to get on base and went frequently.  There’s a quick drop off with some sizable waves pounding the shore. And frequently me. 

Between watching Extreme Surfing movies and being  derma brazed by wet, gritty sand, I had a recurring nightmare:  I stand at the shoreline and just now notice the incoming wave set sucked the sand dry and is turning into a wall of water coming right at me, growing taller and taller as it nears. 

I have waited too long and am gonna eat some sand for sure.
