You can feel the body slowing down, kicking back into cruise mode. It isn’t just old age creeping over me either, even if I do need an afternoon nanna nap sometimes. Just not having to deal with traffic jams or even a simple traffic light is such a plus. Country living, it’s a beautiful thang!

It’s all come to an end too soon unfortunately because it’s time to pack the bag, have one last dip in the warm, blue pacific with the fam, then fill the tank and do some highway surf’n south. That’s about the only type of decent surfing there is to do right now, the summer surfer blues have returned once again.

I should get one last shot for a wave at Forster, because with any luck last nights howling Nor’easter will have whipped up something to ride in one of the many nooks and crannies protected from the wind. If not, it doesn’t matter too much. It was just great to get away.

Cheers
