Walking the dog...

or,

“True morality consists not in following the beaten track, but in finding the true path for ourselves, and fearlessly following it.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

Whichever one you want to go with, my story is that I escaped from being held hostage yesterday and made it down to the beach today. The tide was just on the turn, not leaving a lot of room for manoeuvre. Lots of driftwood left at high tide mark as a result of the high winds over the last few days. The wind has obviously blown my escape vessel back out to sea. I may attempt a rendezvous again tomorrow.

Or I may attempt a different path.
