not crop circles......


but rock circles. found these while patrolling the tidepools during the tsunami a few weeks ago. it was interesting to see the tide out pretty low and in the span of one waist high wave become extremly high tide....

BTW, only one LEGIT halibut was plucked from the sand still flopping as the water left him high and dry.;D

last sunday was EPIC!!!! sunny, warm and not much wind all day. luckily, i'd emailed the boss the night before the whale fiesta and told him i was gonna be back to work on tuesday instead of monday as planned. proper planning is essential to any successful trip!

but ultimately, the best part was that we scored. i surfed 8 of 10 days. meeting new Nomads and old friends as well on the trail. tsunami fishing. bringing home a kilo of cleaned pismo clams for linguini and clamato c-cktails all summer.

and most importantly:

that whale was splashing us with his tail on every pass. one time he connected with the bow and spun the boat around about 120 degrees.....

Great pictures, looking forward to a trip to Asuncion later this year.
We now live in Rio Rico so we have a longer trip. Thinking about the ferry but with 2 dogs that might not work if they must stay with our truck and trailer.

Been almost two years since I was at your spot surfing Woody...thanks for the hit, love it! I did get to surf in an uncrowded HB last week though, during my working vacation...we're almost back to the west coast again---maybe we'll run into you in Baja one of these times.
