He was a pretty good sport with my relentless swearing and freaking out about needing to be at work by 9.<\/p>\n<p>The delay gave us a nice sunrise over Devil&#8217;s Slide on the way to the Jetty. Sun was beautiful, air was relatively warm, and with only 2-3 people in the water we had the place to ourselves. <\/p>\n<p>Paddling out I say Luke getting a nice ride. He picked off a few waves while we were out there. I got skunked. I dunno, too mushy or my energy is still low. My system&#8217;s been all screwy. Low vitamins, muscles burning out fast. My unemployed surfer bum diet certainly isn&#8217;t helping. With this new gig I should be able to make a big push towards balanced nutrition and actually eating for the intense physical workout surfing provides.<\/p>\n<p>Wrapping up I realized I was exceptionally late for work. ARG. My contract is flexible, however that doesn&#8217;t stop me from being hard on myself. I wound up taking a cab to work muddy, salty, and frustrated. Grrr.<\/p>\n<p>Hoping as the days get longer the work\/life balance will get easier. <\/p>\n<p>In the mean time, Luke took a pic from the Jetty as we were packing up. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traceythompson.com\/surfing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/JT-12-18-09a.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"561\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.traceythompson.com\/surfing\/2009\/12\/early-friday-at-the-jetty\/jt-12-18-09a\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traceythompson.com\/surfing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/JT-12-18-09a.jpg?fit=600%2C802&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"600,802\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Pre&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;100\\\/0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;1.52587890625E-08&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"JT-12-18-09a\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traceythompson.com\/surfing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/JT-12-18-09a.jpg?fit=224%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traceythompson.com\/surfing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/JT-12-18-09a.jpg?fit=525%2C702&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traceythompson.com\/surfing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/JT-12-18-09a.jpg?resize=525%2C702\" alt=\"\" title=\"JT-12-18-09a\" width=\"525\" height=\"702\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traceythompson.com\/surfing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/JT-12-18-09a.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traceythompson.com\/surfing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/JT-12-18-09a.jpg?resize=224%2C300&amp;ssl=1 224w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SURF: 3-4ft, mellow and fairly smooth.
