Day 4... what an epic day on the water! It was sunny, 80 degrees and blowing 15- 18 knots... perfect steady wind...10 meter for me and 12 meter for Nick. We went to this spot called one tree point. The bay is super shallow and goes on for a while. With super white sand the water looked liked Hawaii... but it certainly isn't that warm. Ha Ha We rode for about 4-5 hours. It was great to get back on the water. My back rolls are comming along landed a few more. The front rolls still need some work.. but at least I now have time to keep trying them. Nick is getting his s-bends to blind down and having a blast.
Towards the end of our session I noticed that the beach was just littered with clams. You only had to dig your toes in slightly to get a whole bunch. The best part is that you don't have to have a license here to dig. Yipeee. I was just going to dig some there but our friends said that there was a better spot to get this other kind of clam... so we packed up our gear and headed for Mier road. This turned into an indiana jones clam digging expierence. We had to park in the beach parking lot and then walk a mile up the beach.. then we had to wade across this channel to the sand spit that was about 6 inches under water.. so it wasn't really a spit... now keep in mind that we didn't have our wetsuits on and the water was freezing.. just like the coast back home.. oh and the sun was going down at this point. Once we got out to the spit we stood in the water and then dug with our hands until we found the clams. Once we had enough for dinner we waded back across the channel which was now above waist high and then another mile back to the car. We were freezing! But the clams were pretty tasty and went well with the wine. Ha ha Although I think we will be sticking with the easy clams you just dig off the beach.. I'm not so sure about this swimming for dinner thing and we thought the cockels were just as good as the pipis and far less work. ha ha
So that was Wednesday. Not sure what we are going to do today. There is suppose to be wind today.. but currently it is raining so we will see. It's sure to be a good day no matter what.
