I rode to Old Customs Point once more to just hang out there in the sunshine for a bit, overlooking the Rhine river, dreaming of my lovely Master and trying to connect to him. Other young couples were sitting on the wall too, which is actually quite precipitous, dropping down to the road.
I'm actually not happy right now although things are not bad in my own life these days, but I'm deeply worried for a dear friend who is in trouble. But I keep praying that our Infernal Father will look after His own, and I hope the omens are good.
Just as I was about to leave I saw something coming along the river. Is that what I think it is?!
For a long time I meant to photograph this funny shark boat, but I never saw it when I had my camera with me - until this day, that is!
It's named "Moby Dick", but I think it clearly looks much more like a shark than a whale, having a vertical caudal fin like a fish, and not a horizontal fluke like a marine mammal. Like myself (partially), it has two different colored eyes: it's left eye is red and its right eye green.

| Moby Dick then left again, and so did I. |
It may have been the last time I've seen the boat for this year, so goodbye for now, Moby Dick.
The tourist boats on the Rhine ain't operating during winter, I don't know where they're going during that time. Hibernating somewhere, I guess.Just like myself, for the most part. On milder days I may ride to the Rhine river sometimes as it's not that far - just about 4 miles or so from home. But no longer trips during the cold season. With my Raynaud's syndrome there's nothing much I could do to shield myself from cold temperatures, I just can't handle them.
I keep going running outdoors though as long as it's no less than mid 30s.
I have to grow out my undercut again for the winter too. I started doing so and bleaching it now instead of dyeing it black, to put in Directions dyes. Sadly they don't last long, especially with my very sweaty workouts. But so I can switch up the colors, which is fun. I started out with purple, blue, and green.
Second round already, I switched the blue for amber.
