The autumn moon is still full. The reflection in the pool makes an interesting photo.
Tennis: 4-5, 5-0, 2-3 on serve but our court time runs out.
The first set was w/ Larry: we should have won. I served first, 30-0, 30-30, 40-30 and won the first game. The second time I served, an ace and 40-love … but lost. This was terrible!
A lovely sunrise, over the tennis courts and the pools.
A little discovery: holding my breath at the beginning is definitely shorter than after a few laps in the pool, or a few holds. i.e. I’ve to struggle a little to reach the end, which is 20 yards. But after a few laps, I can finish the 20-yard with ease in one breath.
… is this the so called “Warm-up Effect”?
They always in pairs. Tennis courts and swimming pool in the early morning
A tiring but sweeping day on court: 5-3 (Matt & I came from 0-3, v Jim ), 5-3 and 5-4, both with Grey def. Hope & VJ.
During the 2nd set, Hope and I have the longest rally in my little life, about 20+, with most were hit to my forehand, and I ultimately won with him hitting to my forehand and out. I really took my time and turned.
My serve … it’s ok. I practiced toss, till my forearm hurts.
The swimming pool is at its fullest after a heavy rain yesterday.

The roof top pool, is small but it’s better than our next hotel Hyatt Regency in Dallas.
Next to it, is the Rooftop bar.
The pool at hotel is never empty at 5:30 but at 7, it’s mostly empty. So can I interpret that swimmers generally have a healthy life style – that we get up early -:)

Little America has two pools: one outdoor on the ground, and one on the second floor in the main building, which is half inside and half outside, which also have two jacuzzis.
In the morning around 7, I’ve the pool on the second floor all to myself. Oddly, it opens from 4am to 11pm. In the evenings, it can be crowded and noisy with kids, teens and women.
The lockers in women’s change room have digital locks but I don’t think they’re working. The change room has no shower.
My morning swim at InterContinental Doral in Miami is great: cool water temp (high 70s?), empty and the pool length is about 35 or 40 yards.
Today’s sail is very pleasant: 8 of us, great company, with great weather. We left from Litter Harbor.
The Beer Can Island was ravaged by the storm, many tress are down and all the structures were wiped out, except the swing.
The three owners paused their plan to make it time share (?), like $1,000 per share.
Today, there are boats and one hot dog boat is around too.
We visit Sunken Island, sailed on Alafia River: a 25 miles (40 km) long river, with a watershed of 335 square miles (870 km2) that flows into Tampa Bay.

wiki: … The watershed contains ten named lakes and ponds, and 29 named rivers, streams and canals. During the rainy season, excess water is pumped to the new C.W. Bill Young Regional Reservoir, which opened in 2005. The river is formed by two prongs. The north prong starts south of Mulberry and runs for 23.9 miles until it meets the south prong in Lithia. The south prong begins south of Bradley Junction and continues for 28.7 miles. The combined river then flows 24.7 miles west into Tampa Bay
We see dolphins; a few boats with Trump’s name on it; rainbows; pelicans,…
Lunch at the River’s Edge is fine.
