I felt so normal, so like myself, last night that I was sure COVID had left my body. Excited at the prospect of getting to swim with a gang in the morning, I took a COVID test to be sure.
It was positive.
I was still feeling the disappointment when I woke up this morning and did not relish the prospect of dragging my lonely self out to the empty beach for another solo swim.

Then I remembered the full moon! It was actually full yesterday, but those dramatic clouds prevented me from seeing it. This morning was clear and the moon was still nearly full. I checked and saw it would be setting at 7:09, which meant it would be in prime viewing position for my early swim.

That put some joy back into my morning and I hurried down to the Albany Bulb where I had a beautiful, full-moon basking swim in an incredibly low tide.



Look at the extraordinary photos you got for us today! Thanks, Covid! (Speaking as one still testing positive myself.)

We also enjoyed seeing the nearly full moon, but through a thin vale of turbulant clouds
