When Kirk woke up in the late morning, without Bones there, he didn't worry too much. Instead, he spent a very lazy hour in bed, dealing with a few things, then decided he was going to hit the beach.
After the fun and muscle-strain of the previous day, he just... wanted to take it easy. So he found himself walking down to the ocean after slathering himself in sunscreen. He had a small bag in one hand and a towel over the other, but otherwise he was nude. It was a private part of the beach, but he wouldn't have given a shit if someone saw.
He put the towel down on top of the bag, then walked down into the water. He dove down under the clear, warm water once he was as far in as his thighs, and spent a while diving in and out of the waves as sleek as a seal, body surfing some of the waves. It felt good, simple, and above all, relaxing.
When he had tired himself out for now, he went back to his stuff. A quick dry off, a bit more sunscreen, and he spread out the towel. It was huge - obviously meant for this stuff - and took some work to get flat and pinned down. When it was? He laid himself out, put on a pair of sunglasses that were conveniently in the cabin, and pulled out a padd from the bag.
Spock,
I'd like to meet you sometime later today. Maybe for dinner or something? Or if you're busy with Uhura or something, after dinner? Dunno, dun care. No rush. Just when you have some time, even if its not today. Give me a buzz back with a time and idea.
Jim
When the message was sent he tucked away the padd, closed his eyes, and let himself fall asleep, spread open and golden in the rays of the sun.

private communication,
risa and relaxation
