I will miss this beach, compadres, but not much else. You can’t see them here, but there were 4 nurse shark swimming not far offshore, in about 15-20 feet of crystal clear water.

Yet, Gouna beckons…. ever stronger now. Imagine this: the return of the native, the Egyptian Martin Guerre, after half a century, a refugee from his adopted coutnry.
I have often imagined bring my SUP board here, launching out and paddling all the way to Africa.
This in the years where I felt trapped and that there was no way out of the fetid swamps of Florida.
I should have done this 15 years ago, but I didn’t.
So just counting out the days now, like a prisoner waiting for his release.
It’s almost over.
Meanwhile, see this willet go, “oh oh: human approaching.”
41 days left!!!
Yippeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
