Woke up to pouring rain. The rain had been relentless for over 36 hours. The good thing about the rain is that it keeps the sandflies down. Sandflies are nasty, noiseless bloodsuckers who relentlessly attack any tiny bit of bare skin till they've left it covered in welts and have driven their victim halfway to insanity. If you don't normally cuss, spend ten minutes with a handful of sandflies and you will. Little F@#%ers!!!!
OK, back to Big Bay.... I slept in and recovered from the previous days hike in. Around lunchtime the rain stopped so I walked out to the beach and up to the rivermouth. About halfway there a giant circle opened up in the clouds above me showing beautiful blue skies for about 20 minutes. It soon closed up and started to pour rain again. It rained heavily through the afternoon, finally clearing around 9pm. Just in time to show off an incredible sunset.

Awhile back I lifted an old board Greg Mungall had lying around in his glass shop. It was a 1982 6'2" Twinny called "Hooks, Wings and Things." The surf had been small so I figured I'd clean the dust off and get the old beater wet to see how she went. I ended up surfing the board in one foot HB, 6'-8' Newport Point and everything in between. Thus began my love affair with Twin Fins.
