So, I've been preoccupied because I've been hanging out with our local Surfrider Chapter here in The Ham. We volunteered at the Clean Water Classic surf contest in Westport, all the chapters did, include the Vancouver Island chapter. We had stellar weather and I got SO sunburnt holding one of the 'timing flags' for the Saturday series. Yeah, that's me holding the green flag. I scored a great deal on a used Quiksilver wetsuit. sixty bucks, nice 4/3 and it worked great. It was really nice to be back in the water, even though it was WAY colder than the water in Maui. 58 degrees, encased in neoprene, paddling out in nasty brown/green water really made me wonder 'WHAT am I doing in here'. Huge change from surf shorts, 78 degree blue water in Maui. once I paddled out though, it was good. Even caught a few waves, but got really worked.
