It was cloudy when I got out, so I decided to stay out until the weather improved. Lots of fish and dolphins in the water – there was no surf so I spent a lot of time watching the birds and stuff. Got into the meditative zone several times. Had a few nice rides on very small waves.

Suddenly, there were lots of jellyfish, so I paddled in. I did not get stung, but I did worry about it a lot.

Not a great day, but I am stoked that I went – afterward I listened to Prem Chodron discuss moving from Fear to Fearlessness – a very nice talk.
