You don't know what you have until you go without. A few of the things I enjoyed tremendously in the first 24 hrs back from sea: city food within walking distance, walking, showering in a space larger than a cramped duffle-bag, relations with the opposite sex and scoring uncrowded surf with a best friend.
Inspired by Shayne's photos during a visit last year, Jer went ahead and bought a nice camera to chronicle more surf adventures up here. I'm glad he did. We've had some amazing times surfing and exploring the last few years, but not a whole lot of evidence of the treasures uncovered.
These shots are from Friday, and hopefully there will be more to come from different breaks this season. This was a pretty typical winter session (with good conditions) in these parts: big, windy, cold and uncrowded. If you look closely in the last three wave shots, you'll see a speck that is me. It had to be me, because after Jer and the other guy got out (the only other two guys catching waves all afternoon), there was no one else in the water. The last two surf shots are the inside section, which was makeable and a much more exciting at-sea-experience than being on that ship.
The forecast is for more of the same tomorrow. But, first the girl and I are going for a walk to get some dinner and a movie. Then? You never know. But it sure is nice to be home.
nice photos what is the water/air temp like?
