The Secret

Millions of mollusks washed up as a result of a massive swell this Thursday.

Well this sea anenome got the ride of a lifetime I'm sure. Fixing himself on this scallop shell and getting caught in some of the wickedest waves of the season, he ended up waaay up on north beach with virtually everything else. I was a bit late, but apparently the scallops were a plenty on Thursday. I was still nursing the wounds and bruises of a mighty abusive 10 foot surf day. I just could not get my game on in the big waves this time and ended up getting worked. Some days are just better than others.

Today on the other hand was great. My first time in a surf kayak with my faithful leader Johnny. Zero experience didn't hamper things as we set off out into the chuck and trying to topple the waves before they toppled us. By far the most fearful I've been in a very, very long time. I ended up dropping into a nice 4 footer, riding it to shore, and retired undefeated, and still upright. I quickly grabbed my board and proceeded to do what I feel most comfortable doing. It was a definite 4+ hour day today with a multitude of 4-6 foot left handers and I am bagged. Tommorow our training group is doing a nice 15km hike into a patch of mystical old-growth for a lesson on more bush skills. These weekends have been so informative and I really hope that I get to be part of the Moresby Camp future in some capacity.

So... what is the secret.... I think I'll make you wait. It's worth it!
