It’s raining again in the morning. Every night it rains. It then rains on-and-off all day. Nothing is getting dry.
But this morning (as with each day so far) there is a lovely
sunrise through the clouds. On the eastern
horizon is a huge on violent rain squall, back-lit by the rising sun. And, as we watch, a funnel cloud descends
from the southern edge of the storm, reaches down to the ocean surface, and a
waterspout forms. I manage to get my camera
in hand only as it begins to dissipate.
I’m up for round 2 of Men’s HP Open this morning, with no
more hope of scoring and advancing today than I had yesterday, but at least I
have a bombproof roll again. Which comes
in useful, but as expected, I don’t advance.
The rest of my teammates do, however.
And the day turns sunny. We agree
to convene at someplace called Moffat Beach for a surf session later in the
afternoon, and I run back to Coolum to do some errands and work-related stuff.
I get to Moffat late, after getting a bit lost along the
way, and get in a few waves before heading back in to try Devon’s IC boat. I can just barely squeeze into it, to the
point that it is sort of dangerous: my
feet are in danger of slipping over/past the foot braces, meaning that one hard
forward impact and I could be stuffed into the nose of the boat, with
extraction being somewhat problematic.
Sigh.
Anyway, we have to head back to Twin Waters for another
paddler’s meeting, where team seedings will occur.
