The streets near Marcus Cook’s home in Houston had become murky rivers, filled with debris and people trying to escape their flooded houses. As Hurricane Harvey drowned the Texan metropolis in a deluge, Cook glimpsed a man struggling to pull an elderly woman in an inflatable kayak through the rushing, chest-high floodwaters.

March is an awkward month. We’re not exactly in the throes of winter, but spring isn’t quite within reach either. You dress optimistically, heading out on afternoon runs in shorts, basking in the golden-hour sunlight only to freeze when it slips away.

But it didn’t stop me from traveling to Croatia just two weeks later to SUP the country’s northern Dalmatian Islands in the Adriatic Sea. Forget that I didn’t exactly gain any weight back on the half-a-globe flight over, which didn’t serve any food....
