Dawn patrol

6:15am getting up felt like a stupid idea. 
6:45am leaving the house felt like a cold icy silly idea.
7:15am having walked/slid down to the harbour felt like I was commited.
7:30am floating, yawning, muscles protesting.
7:50am the sky waking up around me, pink snow, feeling the wonder.
10am, 20km paddled, the whole day still to go, won the day already.
