Surfer Dave

Dave got his Christmas presents (surfing stuff) a little early this year so that he could make good use of them while he is on an easier rotation. Once Jan hits, he'll probably be lucky to make it out to the beach once a month. This month, we've gone several times. Here is a picture of Dave in his new wet suit and with his surf board. It gets dark pretty early -- sunset at 4:30 and on this day we were there only a few minutes before sunset. It was beautiful and pretty chilly. Calvin wouldn't get out of the car. Dave was funny to watch - on his first day. He couldn't even sit on the board and wait for the waves to come without falling off! He has heard from others and is now learning for himself that surfing is hard to do! It is really good exercise and has beautiful scenery so hopefully he'll enjoy the journey, even if it does take him all 7 years!


It was too late and too dark for a good picture of Clare (on my camera) but the sunset in the background is beautiful!
