Still working on basic cable skills on the water–which means some face planting. This requires humility and a sense of humor.

The latter is especially important for the cable operators who help me. They are patient and kind and one quoted Nietzsche to me–you know the quote about death and endurance.

So I am climbing back up onto the dock and all I can see is Freddy N. wake-boarding, mustache to the wind.

Yeah, would have done him good.
