Surf lesson

The surf was high today due to strong easterly winds and it was absolutely exhilarating to be at the beach. Beautiful the way the sun struck the waves, too.

 

I enjoyed watching father and son in the surf with a lesson in catching a wave. 

 

I'm not sure who enjoyed it most, the father, the young surfer or me living vicariously.

Looks like fun...

Lately there have been many people fishing on the beach. To me it looks like a great way to enjoy the great outdoors and to feed yourself to boot. 

     When I asked, this fellow had not yet had any luck but assured me that the fish would come if he were patient enough. 
     Looking back, my dad was a great fisherman, enjoyed the activity and my mom even cooked up what he'd bring home. She once said there were times when she had to think about something else when she was eating his catch, but they'd never go hungry.

     Makes me wonder how I'd do if I took up rod and reel. I'll keep you posted.
