thank you for saving me in the ocean off the coast of santa barbara today. If I didn't die from drowning, I would surely have died of embarrassment considering I was only beginning my race at a mere 50 meters out in the ocean. you and your jesus-like beard encouraged me to finish when i was in a state of pure panic. As a token of my thanks I present to you this picture of the ocean I googled: a representation of how vast and overwhelming the ocean had seemed to me during the moments I felt I could not do it
I will remember you!
Sincerely,
Angela
