Jump

During last week’s heat wave, my extended family gathered at camp, where the deep shade of the oak trees and the breeze off the river kept things much cooler than they were at home. Still, we all spent more time than usual in the water.

One day right after breakfast, I went out for a sail with my parents and my nephew. The air was already so warm that we ended the sail by stopping at an island and jumping into the river for a morning swim.
