22 December log


The loud, vibrating, clanking of the anchor winch spinning and sound of the chain being dropped stirred the rats from their cages. Groms started emerging from every corner and tightly quipped French started flying all over the place. We were in front of a backwashy left breaking in front of a steep cliff in a deserted, thickly forested cove. Before they could wipe the sleep from their eyes they were waxing up and straight into it. The wave didn't offer much but everyone was stoked to get into the water after the long travel. The session was short, and before we knew it anchor was pulled and again we were off, headed north. We decided to check some spots on the way to today's destination (a remote island a few hours away). A harbor mouth coral reef right and left was only about waist high, but absolutely perfect, spinning little cylinders that  would spit out on the end section. Well, the groms were all over it, sparring with snaps over the crystal-clear blanket of water barely covering the live coral reef. It was quite a photogenic spot and some nice moments were captured..
