Tropical holidays

Some people at the climbing gym had been to Hawaii in December, and the wife suffered a shoulder injury while surfing. There have been a few people in their late thirties, early forties who've decided to start surfing, which is pleasant in warm places but a chilling prospect in the Pacific Northwest; you need a wet suit all year long. This woman hasn't been able to do any climbing for weeks; that would be enough for me to forget about any action on the surfboard.
It got colder as the day wore on, but we needed to make a provisions trek. The wind ate my umbrella; we stayed warm enough hiking back up the hill with full packs. The Co op had wild caught prawns, for a price, but a handful in pasta was enough to satisfy our appetites.
They're threatening snow for tomorrow...
