Sagres

Description

Abstract:
Surf came rolling in, crystal clear, icy cold. Richard and his new friend Jake had to force themselves to stride out through the swirl and tug, dive through a cresting breaker, do a wild crawl for twenty seconds, then dive through another onrushing wall of foaming water, feeling all the time the burn of the Atlantic’s icy grip on their skin. They would dive, ride the waves, exult, leap up, cry out, and feel foolishly, utterly, triumphantly alive. Emerging finally from the ocean, they would be tingling with life in every pore. It was a great beach for the young and Jake, at least, was young.
