Still here.

Have not written for couple days, been busy over Northern Point.

OK, ya got me, just a little fib, then, I’m not the only one.

The wave is off Shellharbour on the south coast of NSW, picture courtesy of the SMH. Surfed some good waves that way myself in days yon. Nice pub too overlooking the small harbor and beach, though my days the pub was more...... casual [down scale] I think the term was.
I have been doing some special ops stuff, plus walking, biking, sunning, watering the garden. Been taking advantage of the 11 days of temperatures in the mid to high teens, little cooler near the water but still nice.
People from away are asking “is it always like this in June?” We wish is the reply.
I can remember when Junes were more on these lines; last several years have been the pits for warm spells so it’s a nice reversal.

All the action was at the boat ramp near the dock yesterday morning. About five people with rods were hauling in the arctic char like you would not believe. One guy had over a dozen in no time at all, even had a rock cod. Some good size ones too.
Quite a few smoke houses are belching out the sweet smell of burning berry bushes; many smoke the char with them. You have never lived until you taste fresh smoked char.


So I guess Newfoundland’s Danny Boy will be sending in the mounted under employed fishers on there ponies on this one. Best place for an ambush would be the parking lot of the casino.

Can any one guess from which country of oil and blood soaked sand this guy is from?

Nasty headline error in that National Post story. Watson is a heretic to Greenpeace. One of the billboards on a reserve near my place in BC is anti-sealing ad. strange alliances.
