The Main Break

As much fun as I am having I am really only at the end of the beginning

But as of today I have been to the main break

Not all that much to report but I caught each wave

Somewhere I wasn't sure I would ever be and just found myself

Roberto called me lets go

It was gonna be a lot of sun and I might look like a Mexican after he said

I finally had his name right

I said I was with Sergio they said they think there was some confusion

I said I was sure there was

We had spoken many things

Beyond words

Beyond names

There was Hannah volunteering from Australia

You couldn't guess what she guessed

There is no way for you to know

You need a name to recommend

You need a name to share

A teacher really don't need a name

Might have guessed it was the main break as a boat load was dropped 

Made my way out there

The board will run some when you stop paddling

It was the same but different

There was more time to do everything

Those last three paddles made all the difference

These beautiful green mountains

What you saw most of the time there was people giving up

Everyone and everything is so much closer than it seems

I ran down not sure how many times

Six hours all told

Back at the camp I needed my arms to get up from the chair

I was not in pain I was depleted

Walked back from town walked down to town

Everything was functional and I was feeling good

I could not have planned a better schedule

Should not take credit next time would plan less

I was lucky I was out on the main break before I knew I was

The last two I knew I was done 

You don't know how much you got

But you can measure yourself at the main break
