Well.... at the risk of being repetitive this week its really been about the weather again....... but ever the opportunist when it comes to shutting down the computer and experiencing the great outdoors this week.... hooray... finally a few breaks in the cloud and some ridable swell.
Huge swells on Monday meant a trip up the coast to Lynmouth. A satisfying if crowded surf followed by fish and chips on the promenade..... Just what the doctor ordered after the summer swell/weather depression! Entertainment provided free as a high tide and rolling seas washed over the seafront giving some unwary seagulls an unexpected dip in the sea!
Tuesday and back to our local secret spot for an early morning dawn patrol. Only a bike ride away and two people on a peak - who needs to go abroad when we still have unexplored waves hidden away in north Devon.
Autumn thoughts are chasing through our heads as Wednesday finds us collecting Driftwood down the boardwalk. Let’s hope the sun comes out in time to dry it out for those winter evenings gathered round the fire after a long tramp round Baggy Point.
Thursday and Friday and we managed a quick outing to the beach.... ice creams and hoodies but at least there was sand between our toes. Rock pooling with our buckets and nets and a few prawns collected for a lunchtime bbq behind the windbreak.
The weekend saw a spot of 'rain snorkelling' at a little sheltered bay we know of. Hard to say where the ocean stopped and the rain began but wildlife spotted include bass, mullet and of course beautiful shimmering shoals of mackerel. At least our beach life seems to be enjoying the last of the summer.
