Was at the Bay Christmas Day 74″ with my new Seiko watch and spring suit .It was 3 maybe 4 ft. Getting to the bay with my thumb went well that day and there was a fire burning with a view of the bay .I was cold and before I got close to feeling the warmth of the fire I saw Hairy Allen with Ben fairy and others enjoying the warmth and Yancy was there and he said to me ” if you want to stand by the fire you gotta get a wood ” so trying to earn a spot I walked over a few small sand dunes but there was no wood . I came back empty handed and nobody had moved and I said “sorry but there is no wood ” I knew that they gobbled up any remnants of fire food for the time and I was’nt going to search beyond that area but remember well the crew and feeling that day . Everyone was cold !
