My overnight neighbors - Team Trails, Dec 06, 2008
What's wrong with this picture?
The Team Trails website indicates the bass tournament blast off is at "safe light" this morning. It's now long past safe light and their rig is still here. What am I missing?

As My Breathing Evened Out
As my breathing evened out, I began to notice other sensations. The water felt different from any other water I'd ever swum in, as if it were more solid than fluid, as though I were swimming through a liquid Sno-Kone. [swimming in 33 degree water / 34 degree air]
